[Bug 590243] Re: Add "blank screen now" option

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

The problem with this suggestion is, what if you wanted to lock the
session *and* blank the screen? Would you have to choose "Lock" first,
and then "Blank Screen Now" from the lock screen? That would be too much
bother. Or would just choosing "Blank Screen Now" lock the session as
well? Being next to a "Lock" item would make it seem like it didn't,
even if it did. All that, plus the cognitive burden of an extra item in
the menu.

The solution is much simpler: "Lock" should always blank the screen
*and* lock the session. This is no burden: when the time comes to
unlock, any keypress or touch of a pointing device will wake the screen.
And this is why, when locking is disabled, the menu item is still there
but says "Start Screensaver" instead.

Adding a 'blank screen' menuitem is a question for the designers --
adding also-affects Ayatana and marking indicator-session's component as
Incomplete.

[Bug 590243] Re: Add "blank screen now" option

[nick]

Being able to turn off the display is a great way to save power when
just playing music, while stepping away from the computer for several
minutes while Update Manager downloads and installs a bunch of updates,
etc.

I'd love to see this feature added to Ubuntu!

I'd be nice to be able to turn off the display on a Laptop without
having to lock the screen. Being able to Lock the Screen and have the
display turn off is a great feature. But there are times (e.g., when you
are at home) when you just don't need the screen to lock every time you
turn off the Laptop Display. It would be best if you could just press a
key or swipe the touchpad to cause the display to turn back on without
having to enter a password.

IIRC you can configure lock to switch off the screen.
