[Bug 34510] Re: there should be no screensaver on the liveCD

[Andrew Ash]

  * GTK frontend:
    - Prevent gnome-screensaver from kicking in while Espresso is running
      (closes: Malone #34510 espresso-frontend-gtk task).

I'm not exactly sure how Colin did this, but if it was like how Oliver
suggested in comments 4 and 6, then it just simulated activity while
espresso (the live CD installer) was running.  The kde frontend for
espresso would have to do the same thing to keep the screensaver from
running.

If he did it by removing the screensaver entirely, then of course my
question of whether or not the KDE frontend had been patched to include
that change would be relevant.

Colin: Did you end up poking gnome-screensaver semi-often, or disabling
it completely from the live CD?  Do you know if the kde frontend had
this change added to it?

Thanks
