Description mnimbus 2003-02-16 01:36:21 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.1 
OS:          Linux

I'd like to see two options added to make remote access of the desktop easier.

1.  Option to remove the wallpaper whenever a connection is made to share the desktop.

2.  Option to use the blank screensaver when a connection is made.  Or, it might be easier to simply not show the screen on the VNC connection whenever the screensaver is activated.

1 is already implemented in HEAD.
Comment 2 Brian T. McKee 2004-12-02 02:11:01 UTC 
How about 2?

I have to keep my screensaver simple because of this so I can log in to work from home. And I really love Euphoria...

This would be a great feature (to atuomatically switch to screen blanking screensaver while remoted)

I hate stepping away from my desk for a minute to come back to a VNC session with this crazy OpenGL screensaver going on knowing it was sucking up a ton of internet bandwidth.

According to bug 334425, 1. is not implemented or not working in a distribution released in 2014.
