That timer was not functioning properly. I am hoping this patch fixes the problem I introduced. a patch read seems to show that desklock still runs a timer and polls idle time - e_manager already uses the screensaver event (blank timeout kicked in) to signal desklock to go. i should remove the idle timer stuff from desklock anyway as not depending on screensaver really isn't sane as you can't really necessarily intercept key stroked everywhere on the screen and same for mouse. -- Regards, Ravenlock -- Regards, Ravenlock - Take Surveys.
