Description Christian Henz 2008-01-26 05:01:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

After locking/unlocking the desktop, the screen is turned off every 70 seconds.

The screensaver is disabled in kcontrol.

From ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc:
====================================
 
[ScreenSaver]
Enabled=false
Lock=false
LockGrace=60000
Timeout=60
 
 
XGetScreenSaver values
After fresh login/xserver restart:
==================================
timeout_return == 0
interval_return == 600
prefer_blanking_return == 1
allow_exposures_return == 0
 
After locking/unlocking:
========================
timeout_return == 70
interval_return == 600
prefer_blanking_return == 1
allow_exposures_return == 1

The timeout of 70 seconds is apparently set in kdesktop/lockeng.cc (mTimeout + 10).
The weird thing is that all lines where that timeout is set should not be reached 
because mEnabled *should* be false...

Kdesktop is no more mantained. Fortunatly this bug seems not to be valid for
KDE 4. Please reopen if this bug is not a kdesktop one (and it is not solved)
or it can be reproduced on KDE 4.

Thanks.
