Documentation Section: The gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-preferences yelp file The wrong thing Correct version: The right thing Other information: ------- Comment #39 from Richard Hughes 2006-02-18 21:27 UTC ------- 2006-02-18 Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com> * data/gpm-prefs.glade, src/gpm-prefs.c (gpm_prefs_setup_checkbox, gpm_prefs_checkbox_lock_cb): Remove the lock checkboxes. :-) * data/gnome-power-manager.schemas.in, src/gpm-prefs.h: Add lock_use_screensaver_settings to *finally* fix bug (#331164) * src/gpm-manager.c (manager_policy_do): Allow over-ride with settings from gnome-screensaver. Default to using gnome-screensaver settings as it's most obvious. Sabayon can be used to tweak these settings per domain if required. I think this keeps everyone happy. I'm closing this bug as I know the number off by heart now. Daniel, can you create a bugzilla for adding this information to the yelp file and we'll discuss the best way to do that in the new bug.
=== Locking === By default, gnome-power-manager supports a simple locking scheme. This means that the screen will lock if set to "Lock screen" in gnome-screensaver when the lid is closed, or the system performs a suspend or hibernate action. There is a complex locking scheme available for power-users that allows locking policy to change for the lid, suspend and hibernate actions. To enable this complex mode, you will have to disable the gconf key: /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_use_screensaver_settings Then the policy keys can be set to force a gnome-screensaver lock and unlock when the action is performed: /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_on_blank_screen /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_on_suspend /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_on_hibernate NOTE: The lock policy for gnome-screensaver is ignored until the simple mode is re-enabled. --------- What about that Daniel?
Yep, sounds good to me.
