Description Matěj Cepl 2006-11-15 23:20:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Apparently autoaway plugin polls xprop quite often for information whether the
screensaver is on. Together with bug 215832 I got interesting situation when
xchat-gnome generated 12 core-dumps a minute ;-). Notwithstanding that bug, I
think that being Gnome-oriented, xchat-gnome should use DBus to get information
whether screensaver is on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xchat-gnome-0.15-1.fc6

How reproducible:
100% with xorg-x11-utils-7.1-2.fc6

Steps to Reproduce:
1.switch Autoaway plugin on
2.run xchat-gnome
3.

Comment 1 Brian Pepple 2006-11-16 21:45:58 UTC
Actually, the autoway plugin does use dbus w/ the gnome-screensaver, but code
for dbus support was moved into the main code for xchat recently, and seems to
have broken the autoaway plugin.  Once I get settled in from my vacation, I look
at fixing the autoaway plugin.

Comment 2 Brian Pepple 2007-01-16 20:08:30 UTC
The autoaway plugin is definitely not working correctly.

When running the following, the autoaway plugin doesn't activate:
dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver --type=method_call
--print-reply --reply-timeout=20000 /or/gnome/ScreenSaver
org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SetActive boolean:true

I'll try to find some time tomorrow, to see if I can fix this.

pong.  I have been swamped with work, and haven't had a chance to work on this
since January when I opened a bug upstream.

If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6,
please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly
encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to
refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs
for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them.

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 11:40:49 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 10:23:19 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
