Description darkxst 2012-09-30 02:01:19 UTC 
Gnome settings daemon emits a simulateUserActivity signal when
waking from suspend. In the case of the old screensaver this ensures
that the login dialog is available without any further user interaction.
However this is not currently implemented in the new screenShield.

screenShield: Implement Simulate User Activity method

Gnome settings daemon calls the simulateUserActivity method on the
screensaver interface when waking from suspend. In the case of the old
screensaver this ensured that the login dialog is available without
any further user interaction. However this is not currently implemented
in the new screenShield.

I'm not sure this is what we really want, after all the explicit "swipe to unlock" was part of the original design, and it's a pattern present in other platforms.
In any case, the method should make sure that the lightbox is hidden too.

Looks good now
Comment 6 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-10-04 18:52:01 UTC 
We still need a design OK on this.
Comment 7 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2013-04-19 14:50:42 UTC 
Is this still needed / wanted?
Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2013-04-19 20:30:32 UTC 
I don't think gsd is calling SimulateUserActivity anymore
Comment 9 Allan Day 2013-08-25 22:53:36 UTC 
It isn't clear to me what impact this would have on the UX.
