Description Loïc Minier 2009-08-05 15:20:57 UTC 
Hi

When I suspend by pressing my laptop's sleep key or when clicking the GPM icon, I don't need any fadeout and in fact would prefer if the screensaver would not delay suspending at all.  I think the fadeouts are sensible for all the other cases though, so I propose adding a flag to skip the locking delay or a parameter to specify which delay to use for this locking operation to the API.

I'll request a corresponding change in GPM to use the new API.

Do you think this is a sensible change?

Cheers

The GPM bug about using this API is bug #590866.

gnome-screensaver is obsolete, and this particular bug has been fixed in
gnome-shell and gnome-settings-daemon (which replaced gnome-power-manager). Suspending will now lock the screen automatically if the screen is set to lock in the Privacy settings.
