Description Guillaume Desmottes 2012-11-02 11:39:09 UTC 
This bug is about the second part of the original bug.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #684979 +++

I was recently trying empathy for video calls, and noticed that the lock screen came on, and my webcam was still giving me the green light. I think there's two things wrong:

- The session should probably be inhibited from going idle while I am doing a call

- If the session gets locked, empathy should drop the webcam

From https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684979#c5 :

"""
There is a org.gnome.ScreenSaver.ActiveChanged signal that you can probably
listen for. There is also a org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Active property which tells
you whether the screensaver is active (ie the session is locked).

That should work with both gnome-shell and gnome-screensaver.
