------- Comment #5 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-02-08 22:59 UTC ------- God, Robby, what are we going to do with you ^_~. I kinda think that screensaver handling in Xfce is just pretty poor in general. For people running GDM and gnome-screensaver (maybe for the switch user functionality), it would be nice to have an easy way to make that work. This is just further cause for a "preferred desktop apps" framework to complement the preferred apps stuff in libexo. So we could have options for WM (xfwm4, compiz(-fusion), metacity, kwin), desktop/file management (xfdesktop+Thunar, nautilus, ROX), panel (xfce4-panel, gnome-panel, pypanel), screensaver (gnome-screensaver, xscreensaver, xlock only). Ideally we could ship with a bunch of .desktop files that define the avail applications, and only show those that are actually installed (and allow the user/distros to easily add other options). This also needs cooperation from xfce4-session, and I'm not sure anyone besides Benny would know the codebase enough to handle that without a lot of work. Of course, I currently have about 4 unfinished new projects, 3 or 4 modules I maintain (and am behind on bug fixes and enhancements for), so somebody else is gonna have to step up here. So, to make a long story... less long, maybe we should just accept the $DISABLE_SCREENSAVER patch for now, and punt a good solution to 4.8... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
