Request shell exit overview when locking screen (3.35 KB, patch)

Description Colin Walters 2010-12-18 22:10:11 UTC 
Shell has a keyboard grab in the overview; request that we bounce
out of the overview before dropping into the try-to-grab loop.
We do this asynchronously, since the try-to-grab loop exists anyways.

Given we don't use screensavers anymore, we should consider moving screen locking into the shell and dropping gnome-screensaver entirely.

Yes of course - but that's not going to happen for 3.0.

We discussed this on IRC a long time ago.  My comment was something like: I don't like special casing the shell here since this is really a general problem with grabs.  We have the same problem if any menu is down.  Much better to have a release grabs event of some kind I think.

[Removing GNOME3.0 target as decided in release-team meeting on March 03, 2011. "nice-to-have" categorisation for GNOME3.0; but important to have some mitigation for the shell overview]
