Subject: kaffeine: Use DCOP for disabling the screen saver

Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2004 17:05:59 +0200

Package: kaffeine
Version: 0.4.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hi Zack.

Configuring kafffeine, I noticed that it uses "fake keypresses" to
disable the screen saver. I didn't looked at the code, but if it does
really this to disable the screensaver, is pretty ugly IMHO.

KPresenter does this using a pretty simple DCOP call (borrowed from
kpresenter_view.cc):

  // disable screensaver
  QDataStream arg(data, IO_WriteOnly);
  arg << false;
  if (!kapp->dcopClient()->send("kdesktop", "KScreensaverIface", "enable(bool)", data))
    kdWarning(33001) << "Couldn't disable screensaver (using dcop to kdesktop)!" << endl;
  else
    kdDebug(33001) << "Screensaver successfully disabled" << endl;

I hope you can forward this to upstream developers, since I don't know
where is the apropiate place.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Alejandro,

Sorry for the huge delay! Sometimes I lose messages ;)

I agree, using fake keypresses is a little ugly. But since kaffeine
isn't actually part of KDE, I don't think it should just assume that the
using is using KDE or KScreensaver. Even if it were part of KDE, it
should still work correctly when run outside of it.

The correct place to forward this is
kaffeine-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - upstream prefers the list over
SF's BTS  - I'm forwarding it for you, because I wanted to add my
comments. I don't have a "better" solution, but I don't think simply
switching from fake keypresses to dcop/kscreensaver is the way to go.
The current approach may be ugly but I haven't heard of any users having
problems with it.

Zack

Subject: kaffeine: Will this work on other desktops besides KDE?

Package: kaffeine
Version: 0.5-1
Followup-For: Bug #269624


If this doesn't work on desktops other than KDE, then users of those 
desktops will be disappointed.

Btw: Most kinds of bugs should be send the the kaffeine user mailing 
list at kaffeine-user@lists.sourceforge.net.

Subject: kaffeine 1.0~pre3 uploaded to unstable

Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 22:30:24 +1000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear submitter,

Sometime ago you file a bug report against kaffeine in the Debian Bug Tracking 
System, mainly the 0.8.x series.
http://bugs.debian.org/kaffeine

As a result we now have a large number of outstanding reports open in the 
Debian Bug Tracking System that are upstream bugs and should be reported 
against the KDE bugs tracking system.

Could I ask you to upgrade to the kaffeine in unstable (1.0~pre3) and confirm 
your report is still current.

1. If your original report is still valid, please submit an update using the 
reportbug(1) package, detailing the issue currency.

1.a. If possible could you review the upstream reports against kaffeine and 
see if your report has already been reported upstream. 
http://kaffeine.kde.org/?q=bugs again submit an update using reportbug(1) 
providing the KDE bugs URL. Also please feel to report your issue directly 
upstream.

2. If your original report has been resolved, please send an email to 
xxxx-done@bugs.debian.org, where xxxx is your bug number, stating that your 
issue has been resolved.


If we don't hear back from you in the next month or so, we may close your 
report as fixed in the version 1.0 series.

Thanks,
Mark
