Bug ID: 372054 Summary: KDE screen saver not working when VirtualBox guest is running. Product: kde Version: 4.14.1 Platform: Slackware Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: mfo...@novatec-inc.com Target Milestone: --- I have KDE 4.14.21 on Slackware 64 14.2. I have the KDE screen locker set to start in 15 minutes and require login after 1 minute [more]. I have the power management settings set to turn off screen after 30 minutes and suspend session after 20 minutes and lock screen. This all works fine except when I'm running a VirtualBox Windows 7 VM guest. Then the screen saver NEVER kicks in as long as the VM is running in the foreground. If another window is on top of the VM (e.g. Thunderbird, Firefox), or if the VM window is minimized, the screen saver does engage. This is a bit of a security risk as the desktop is left accessible if unattended. A shot-in-the-dark suggestion from the VirtualBox forum suggested there might be some setting in KDE defining how the screen saver works in regards to programs, e.g. playing a video. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
