temporarily disabling
the screen saver can be useful, so we probably
want to allow at least
that. I'm not sure we want to allow messing with
the timeout though. Yep, I think the same. Being able to control screen saver activity is pretty damn needed (for DVD/movie players etc.).
I removed affecting X settings because I did not see reasons to keep them. You gave me more than enough.
What is *not* needed is some stupid Windows program messing with my nicely configured timeouts :)
Would you mind about messing the settings temporarily :-) I'm going to implement integration in such way that the changes to settings from Wine will be only temporary - while single X session. If user wants to have it permanently he/she should change X configuration.
We should probably output a warning message informing the user that we won't modify the timeout, though.
There will be very many such messages. I would not like to do that - useful Wine output can be lost.
Hmm, again, could someone fix the horrible bug in SPI_SETSCREENSAVERACTIVE ? This one leads to pretty stupid blanking in both movie players and, more importantly, InstallShield installers !!
Andriy ? (or should I fix it ?)
I'm on my way :-) I think I'll finish until Monday.
Will be any suggestions about existing strategy of integration with X settings?
Andriy
