Ideally it's the power management interface you use to inhibit a screen so this should be agreed upon instead. Screensaver is just one of possible implementation details of the power saving mechanism. And a pretty but useless one as it tends to actually drain more power ;) It should be up to the power manager to suspend the proper screensaver then (possibly including hacks or workarounds for xscreensaver that is not likely to get upstream support for DBus). -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
