Title:
Lock screen action should also turn the screen off
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If the user locks the screen via the Lock Screen action (Ctrl + Alt +
L), the screen should be turned off. What happens now is that the
screen goes black, but the backlight remains on, consuming the battery
and serving as an unnecessary light source. Only after the number of
minutes specified in the Brightness and Lock settings panel elapse is
the screen turned off.
I see no reason why this should be like this: the "Turn screen off
when inactive for: X minutes" setting is, I guess, there to recognize
the situation when the user forgets to log out / put the machine to
sleep when he leaves it. However, when the user locks the screen, it
is, in effect, a way to tell the OS "I'll be inactive". So, it would
only make sense if the screen was turned off.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.
