Description of problem: When the mute button is pressed with the screensaver on the LED in the button is turned on but sound is not muted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.28.0-15.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Follow steps. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start audio app with some output. 2.Lock screen. 3.Push mute button. Actual results: Mute button LED is turned on but sound is not muted. After screen is unlocked pushing mute button again turns sound off and LED off so they are out of sync. Expected results: Nothing should happen if mute button is pushed with screen locked. Or LED should turn on AND sound should be muted. Additional info: Lenovo T510 type: 4384-F78
It's a valid bug and reasonable request to fix it, but it's hard to implement. The screen is locked so the code that handles mute never gets to see the keypress. We'd either have to copy and paste that code into gnome-screensaver or do some sort of IPC with gnome-settings-daemon (the process running the code in question). Either route is going to be messy and probably not appropriate for a RHEL update barring significant customer interest. devnack
