Curtis had some points about this, which I'll leave to him.D-BUS people, do you think that this is a good time and task to start integrating D-BUS into GNOME? I think that this could be very cool for some upcoming stuff: * presentation A presentation program can easily tell those idle-monitors to stop listening to idle events ("start screensaver", "put monitor to standby mode") because this would be quite annoying if happening during a talk. * multimedia Totem could do the same stuff when playing a movie (imagine LOTR: there's lots of lots of idle time). Rhythmbox could easily plug in a visualization screensaver which might be cool if one's using his GNOME desktop to play music at a party. As I promised to work on battfink, I'd like to get some advice from the D-BUS people on how things should work. And I'd love to start hacking on the idle-time-screensaver-power-management-stuff (this could remove some duplication in xscreensaver/battfink). Regards, Sven
