Imho, we are going to discover more unexpected issues after the release because of the "let's-make-everything-rely-on-gnome-session" idea anyway…</blockquote> As I've already mentioned, gnome-screensaver uses gnome-session to determine when the session is idle. We can either patch gnome-screensaver to use the old x11 watcher if the gnome-session dbus interface isn't available or we could even patch xfce4-power-manager to take care of starting the screensaver since it monitors idleness not using gnome-session already. If neither options turn out to be viable for whatever reason, we'll have no choice but to move to xscreensaver. Cheers, </div> -- Cody A.W.
