Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Normally my screen locks when the computer has been idle for a while. If I open
the new sound-applet to turn off my music before I leave and l leave the cursor
above the applet, then the screen wont lock entirely.
1. The screen does not go black, but stay the the way it was when i left it.
2. If i move the cursor around to the bluetooth applet or mail-applet I can
access these programs.
3. if I get the cursor away from any of these panel-applets the screen will
lock instantly.
So I am able to connect/disconnect bluetooth devices with no password.
And maybe other tings, that I haven't noticed yet.
