[Bug 591500] Re: Gnome Screensaver Doesn't Fade Out
Hey, Because I like the fade effect as well I made a patch for it. It creates a new gconf key called fa_on_lock_enabled that toggles the fade effect. By default is FALSE but when TRUE it enables it. This seems a better approach, if there is any interest in it I can improve it. I'm attaching the patch file in here ready to be placed in debian/patches folder and to build the package. ** Patch added: Patch to create gconf key to toggle fade effect. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50365658/17_toggle_fade_on_lock_in_gconf.patch -- Gnome Screensaver Doesn't Fade Out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

No, we don't want to add a gconf key for it. The X server bug that this change works around affects every driver with the exception of the proprietary NVIDIA driver. We're not going to provide a key to allow for most users to break their systems. -- Gnome Screensaver Doesn't Fade Out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
