Hello. I am having problems with xidle(1)...
This command does nothing.. xlock doesn't run after 5 seconds, or minutes: xidle -program "/usr/X11R6/bin/xlock" -timeout 5 unless I put my mouse cursor in the NW corner. xidle -delay 5 -sw -program "/usr/X11R6/bin/xlock" -timeout 10 This command also does nothing, unless I put the mouse cursor in the SW corner. For fun I tried using -area 500 and -area 5000, and xlock would work once and only once. I would like xidle to trigger when the cursor and keyboard are idle in any position.
