[Bug 22007] no 'Settings' button in gnome-screensaver
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: At the very least this should be an administrator choice. Maybe the administrator has the option to give individual user configuration. This would certainly be wanted where I work and it would cause me no issues at home. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 22007] no 'Settings' button in gnome-screensaver
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: The current behavior of gnome-screensaver is inconsistent with the rest of GNOME 2.14, which gives the system administrator control over what the user can do with pessulus and sabayon. gnome-screensaver wires in the bare minimum: the user can either not have a screensaver at all, have the screen blank out, pick one particular screensaver, or let gnome-screensaver choose at random, with no control whatsoever over the set from which the selection occurs. If the sysadmin is supposed to have control, then gnome-screensaver should give it to him or her. For many of us, we are the sysadmins, and our computers are at home, but gnome-screensaver takes control away from us! -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: I agree too, This is not acceptable for a screensaver manager. Considering the non-constructive attitude of the gnome-screensaver developer, we should really make this a big point as ubuntu users. I don't think it's a good idea to start our own development, but we should really get this working before dapper releases. It is a severe issue: For 'simple' users screensavers are a major joy and have indeed relevance for a enjoyable ubuntu experience. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: And there are screensavers that grab your desktop (or any other image): lack of settings option leaves them with "control picture" (see for example "slider"), which is 1. confusing, 2. far from professional. If we want to oversimplify, my suggestion is to preconfigure configurable screensavers (grabbing desktop image for example, this is probably what most of the users expect anyway) (power users that can replace gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver anyway) And still, leave at least an option to enable/disable specific screensavers - not only GL screensavers are resource-eating (Distort is one of the examples) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: no, grabbing the desktop by default is evil behavior and considered a security flaw by many people, thats why ther last changes were made to xscreensaver-data and xscreensaver-gl, the image handling is already solved, please see the changelogs -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: Why do developer need to invent "new features" in this example feature is again less is better, but this feature (no setup for screensavers) is hurting usability off screensaver, why did they even included changing off screensavers if less is better why not joust Off and ON? Actually I think that sometimes less is much worse. So put back screensaver configurations. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/22007 Comment: Ubuntu's philosophy is to offer a OS in as many languages as possible. Gnome Screensaver is not fitting with this philosophy, as you have to put your images in a "Pictures" directory if you want them to be displayed by the slideshow screensaver. I'm french, I don't have a "Pictures" directory, I have a "photos" one. A spanish user will have "fotos". I'm OK to have simple applications, but it just simply doesn't work... -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
