Well, if you guys won't fix it so that kscreenlocker can act like a screensaver, then you're not going to fix it, but running a slideshow with a screensaver and running one with with gwenview are two completely different things even if they both involve running a slideshow. One kicks in when the computer has had no input for a certain period of time, and the other is something you run manually when you're specifically trying to show a slideshow. Honestly, I find it pretty amazing that there's anything controversial here. The way that most OSes and DEs handle this is that you have a screensaver, and you can optionally choose to have it require a password to turn it off, whereas it seems like the current approach to KDE is to try and just have it lock the screen and act like it's not a screensaver at all even though that's precisely what it does - it's just made the locking functionality mandatory for some reason. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
