Re: [orca-list] GNOME3 System Menu Work-around

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Well with gnome3, we're probably having to learn this stuff all over
again but from what I recall before, look in the system menu for
something to do with screen saver properties.  I forget if it is by
itself or if inside another dialog.  But you can go in and turn off
the screen saver entirely or change the time out period to something
different.  I think with gnome 3, we might need to explore the system
settings dialog.  At this point, it appears to be a two dimensional
icon view and hitting enter on any of these will open a respective
dialog for further adjustments.

HTH.
