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.
