Hi Brian,

I remember that you mentioned gnome-screensaver in the proposal of new
gdm and consolekit you sent before. Is there any impact of
gdm/consolekit integration to xscreensaver? Gnome-power-manager can
cooperate with gnome-screensaver but currently solaris only ships
xscreensaver. This works but it's not perfect.

Regards,

Jedy
