[Bug 783095] Re: acpi-support still uses dcop calls

[Luis Silva]

@Steve Langasek
Indeed you are right that this is backward-compatibility.
I considered it to be a bug because kde4 has a dbus interface that replaces
the dcop one:
"org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver Lock"
The dbus interface is however not contemplated by the script.
Cheers,

Title:
  acpi-support still uses dcop calls

Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpi-support

  kde4 switched from dcop to dbus for inter-process communication.
  However, some invalid dcop calls are still being made by scripts in
  acpi-support.

  Just do:
  > grep dcop /usr/share/acpi-support/* 

  The result on my machine is:                                                                                              
  policy-funcs:      (pidof dcopserver > /dev/null && test -x /usr/bin/dcop && /usr/bin/dcop kded kded loadedModules | grep -q klaptopdaemon) ||
  screenblank:elif [ `pidof dcopserver` ]; then
  screenblank:    dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
