Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-08-09 14:45:57 UTC 
Right now gnome-screensaver's smart card monitoring code polls several times a
second.  This will needlessly use up battery on laptops, force speed stepped
CPUs to go up, etc.

Fixing this will require forking and then doing (blocking) event handling in a
subprocess.
