Description William Jon McCann 2005-06-27 17:38:42 UTC 
Might be interesting to "flash" the screen to alert a nearby user that the
screen is about to be locked.  This way they can make some activity to cancel it
in time.
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2005-10-26 17:02:31 UTC 
Or put something into the notification area.
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2005-10-26 17:12:15 UTC 
Or have a slow (2 second?) fade to black when the screen is unlocked.  Once the
fade is complete the screen is locked and the hacks start, but until then any
actions unfade the desktop without asking for the password.

	* src/gs-watcher-x11.c (gs_watcher_class_init) 
	(_gs_watcher_notice_activity, gs_watcher_init, maybe_send_signal) 
	(schedule_wakeup_event): Add idle-notice and notice-cancelled
	signals.  idle-notice fires off 10 secs before idle.  notice-cancelled
	fires off if an idle-notice has been sent and activity was seen
	before idle is sent.

	* src/gs-monitor.c (watcher_idle_notice_cb) 
	(watcher_notice_cancelled_cb, disconnect_watcher_signals) 
	(connect_watcher_signals, gs_monitor_init, gs_monitor_finalize):
	Fade in response to idle-notice from watcher.

	* src/gs-manager.c (gs_manager_activate): Set timeout for fade.

	Fixes #309142.

2005-11-29  William Jon McCann  <mccann@jhu.edu>

	* src/gs-fade.c: New singleton class to
	do asynchronous fading.

	* src/test-fade.c (test_fade, main): 
	* src/gs-manager.c (gs_manager_activate): 
	* src/Makefile.am: Use GSFade.
