Subject: tvtime: Shift_L KeyPress and KeyRelease events generated every 30 seconds

Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 08:05:46 +0100

Package: tvtime
Version: 1.0.2-0.3+b1
Severity: normal


When tvtime is running, Shift_L KeyPress and KeyRelease events are
generated every 30 seconds. They pop up in the window with the keyboard
focus. This is very annoying when doing work in parallel to running
tvtime. For example, when searching backwards in a file with vim, the
search direction is silently reversed, though the physical Shift_L key
is pressed all the time. (vim searches backward with the 'N' character
and forward with the 'n' character.) Or, when typing an all upper case
symbol, the case changes to lower case in the middle of the symbol,
though the physical Shift_L key is pressed all the time. These effects
feel like being random due to their 30 seconds interval.

The most obvious way to see the problem is to start the utility 'xev'.
Activate the xev window to give it the keyboard focus. When tvtime is
running, you can see the events appearing every 30 seconds. When you
stop tvtime, the events stop to appear. If you start tvtime again, the
events happen again.

I do not run a desktop environment. I run a plain icewm and start tvtime
from it.

The problem is not related to the latest Linux kernel. I had it with
former kernels too.

I cannot claim that it is a bug in tvtime. But I notice the problem
only when tvtime is running, so there seems to be some relation at
least.

tag 458041 + patch
severity 458041 important
thanks

Package: tvtime
Version: 1.0.2-1

This is tvtimes way to disable the screensaver. It is the most stupid and 
annoying way to do it (ok, pseudo pressing "tvtime is cool" would be more 
annoying). Other programs do that differently (for example kaffeine which I 
use for dvb).
I change the severity because it makes the package unusable when doing 
anything else then watching tv.

PS: This is just a raw, relative undebianised patch.

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

Lubos Lunak <l.lunak@kde.org> informed me that it is better to still use 
XResetScreenSaver for screensaver which ignores the X internal timers like the 
ones from KDE since rev916966. I tested it with enabled dpms and kde different 
screensaver types and it works fine.
