Public bug reported:
The default for blueproximity is that the unlocking command is specified as:
- 'gnome-screensaver-command -d'
This is bad because it means there is an incentive to acquire someone's
mobile phone (by hook or by crook) in order to access their machine.
Locking the screen has a failure mode of causing incoveinence to the
user who may be at the keyboard but whose mobile phone is off / run out
of battery - there is no problem.
But unlocking the screen can lead to all sorts of danger. There are
likely users who want to do this -- it just should not be the default
configuration. Perhaps ship a second configuration called 'permissive'
preconfigured for those who wish unlocking to occur when they are in
range.
Thanks,
Anand
