[Bug 1067515] Re: Locking from user menu fails second time (gnome-screensaver SimulateUserActivity() doesn't return)

[Sebastien Bacher]

Ok, looking a bit to it, doing:

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver
/org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity

blocks on the current code

The patch there "fixes" the issue, I'm not sure it's right though, I
would appreciate comments of people knowing that code better than me :-)

** Patch added: "that seems to fix the blocking return, not sure it's right though"

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce
  1. Login
  2. Lock screen from system menu, then unlock
  3. Lock screen again from system menu

  This time the lock dialog takes around 30secs to be displayed. At this
  point The same applies for Log-out, suspend options etc, if these are
  clicked instead of Lock in step #3.

  Locking via keyboard shortcut is unaffected.

  I have been able to reproduce this issue under both LightDM/unity and
  Gdm/gnome-classic.
