RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Jaša 2011-01-27 15:57:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Screen locks when user first moves pointer (hits keyboard) after returning to computer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spice-client-0.7.1-1.el6.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. let spicec grab focus
2. leave computer for time when screensaver should kick in
3. move pointer or hit any key
  
Actual results:
screensaver kicks in instantly

Expected results: either of these two
- don't do anything with screensaver so it normally starts after it's timeout passes
- inhibit screensaver like media players do, resetting screensaver timeout when it releases pointer or loses focus

Additional information:
gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-8.el6.i686 in default configuration
