This particular bug infuriates me. I am used to the x-screensaver behavior. No matter how long it takes xscreensaver to come up with the unlock dialog, it catches every single keystroke, including any mistakes and backspaces, and continuations upto and including the enter key.
What is bad about xscreensaver, jwz does and has done an outstanding job for many years with this project. What was so NEEDFUL as to make it more "admin" friendly and so repulsive to end users? Sure it does the same job of xscreensaver only more crapily and slows me down significantly. I understand about the dbus and gconf ideas... but at what cost is going to be? If Gnome is going to change the this gnome-screensaver, Gnome needs to have it accept all keystrokes from the keyboard on the get go, not "delayed" until the dialog comes up. This mode of operation is extremely horrid and NOT at all End-User friendly. We need to get work done, this holds us up as much as 90 seconds (on a slow machine that is heavily used) This can eat up 15+ minutes a day, even without the mistakes, if your timeout is short. -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
