Description Diederik van der Boor 2009-07-16 17:12:47 UTC

Version:           onbekend (using 4.2.96 (KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.3 RC2)) "release 142", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.4-default

The "leave a note" plasmoid seams to freeze up. After leaving a note, the screensaver no longer accepts mouse input.

Killing the screensaver application (kflux.kss in my case) from the console seams to fix it.

Hi,

Can you please details the steps to reproduce the problem? It does not seem very clear to me :)

Thanks!

Comment 2 Diederik van der Boor 2010-01-03 20:57:35 UTC

To reproduce (KDE 4.3.4)
- configure the screensaver to allow "widgets on the screensaver"
- add a "leave a note" plasmoid to the screensaver.
- leave two notes within the same minute/second.

Behind the screensaver, the note tool will prompt the user to "rename the title for this note". The screensaver application itself won't receive user input anymore (e.g. a mousemove/keypress to unlock it).

The only way to leave the screensaver, is by killing it from the virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1, login, killall -9 "screensavername.kss")

I can reproduce this too on 4.3.4 with the steps from comment 2.
