Description Josselin Mouette 2008-08-30 02:18:01 UTC 
[ forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/496685 by Arjan Opmeer ]

Currently gnome-screensavers blank screen theme unfades to the gamma setting
it reads at program startup time (normally the start of your GNOME session).

However if the user in the mean time altered the X gamma with a utility like
xgamma this new setting will not be honoured. Thus causing the X gamma
setting to be reset everytime the screensaver kicks in and subsequently
unfades.

It would be nice if gnome-screensaver could be modified to read the current
X gamma setting just prior to blanking the screen, so it can unfade to the
setting the user is expecting and not some old value.
