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
