Review request for kde-workspace and Oliver Henshaw.


Changes
-------

Changed the description a little bit, f.e. point to the proposal in the bug report.


Description (updated)
-------

This patch disables session management for screensavers.
Therefore no screensaver windows popup anymore on login if processes keep on running when the user logs out.

As proposed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314859#c18

This doesn't solve the underlying problem of bug#224200 of course, but provides better user experience for now, so please accept.

And IMHO it doesn't make sense to restore screensavers on login, anyway.


This addresses bug 314859.

Diffs
-----

  kscreensaver/libkscreensaver/main.cpp 6851ba1 

Diff: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/109609/diff/


Testing
-------

- Turn on the "Blank Screen" (kblankscrn.kss) screensaver in systemsettings.
- Wait for the screensaver to kick in
- Verify that the process is still running (due to bug#224200)
- log out
- log in again
Now no "kblankscrn.kss" window is opened anymore (without the patch, a window should appear)


Thanks,

Wolfgang Bauer
