Hi Waldo,

The screensaver interface looks good. What is the use case for the
"Poke" method?
The Poke method is a way to simulate user input. It is the programmatic
equivalent to moving the mouse back and forth or hitting the Shift key
or something. If the screensaver is activated and the lock is enabled
then it will prompt for authentication. If the screensaver is activated
and the lock is disabled then it will deactivate the screensaver. If
the screensaver is not active (ie. blanked) then it will reset the idle
timers.
What do you do when someone is nodding off and they shouldn't? You give
them a poke :)
Power manager stuff looks nice as well, but maybe the KDE HW ppl can
comment on that a little bit better.
I think this fits in really nice with the long-term vision that Portland
has with DAPI (Deskop API). I would like to suggest to rename the
interface org.gnome.* to org.freedesktop.* and host them as part of DAPI
in the Portland CVS (See portland.freedesktop.org). And then we should
get some DBUS love for DAPI going I guess.
I'll be happy to rename the interface.
Thanks,
Jon
