Comment 18 for bug 310351

Hi,

I am using xdg-screensaver with KDE4, and whereas Inhibit seems to disable the screen saver, it does not disable the screen autolock feature. Looking for the bug, I found that SimulateUserActivity had to be used, but I modified xdg-screensaver in a way that should make it still compatible with other window managers, by adding the look calling SimulateUserActivity in the track_window() function, while waiting for the xprop process to exit.

Regards.
