I understand, but really, really having n topics in mailbox about the same issue makes it difficult to follow more interesting questions and to provide more useful answers. About dimming screen: everyone even can find answer by using manually mdbus, as I, and then find some interesting dbus call for him. When you only ask, without trying to solve problem by yourself, you can't lern anything. I don't like people refering to manual at each question, but good heavens! How long you can answer the same question with the same content! I hope you understand my point. And I really want to be nice to people... If only they are nice too...
