Of course I understand KDE is a big open source project with a ton of existing things to work on, I am definitely not expecting it to be worked on anytime soon, but something that is not reported cannot be worked on, as to the viability of the scenario, I agree with your comment about the scenario being niche. > The only case where this UI element would be completely useless if if you've configured your machine to never sleep and also never lock the screen Yes, I always configure my desktops to never sleep or lock, I manually lock them when leaving the desk. I guess the actual proper solution would be a power widget without these dialogues, just pure devices I bet that will be useful for laptop and handheld device users. (I have this widget on a laptop as well and its taking more screen space than it should on a 15 inch screen) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
