Hi. Have you noticed that the "Put display to sleep when inactive for" setting in gnome-power-preferences depend on "Regard the computer as idle after" setting from gnome-screensaver-preferences? This is causing much confusion to the users, even to myself (where I regard myself as an Ubuntu expert). Here are some bugs filed about it: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/36568 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/59589 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336061 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427815
Shouldn't the usability/user interface design team do something about? Possible solutions: 1) Merge screensaver and power-management preferences. 2) Add a duplicate of screensaver-idle settings to gnome-power-preferences 3) Add some text explaining why the lowest value for putting display to sleep is X. What do you think about it? (I've sent this message first to the Ayatana list, but it was rejected, so I'm posting here) -- ## Przemysław Kulczycki >><< Azrael Nightwalker ## # jabber: azrael[na]jabster.pl | tlen: azrael29a # ### www: http://reksio.ftj.agh.edu.pl/~azrael/ ### -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
