Review request for kde-workspace.


Bugs: 334762
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334762


Repository: kde-workspace


Description
-------

Qt's QGLWidget apparently explicitely sets a standard mouse pointer for the screensaver widget.
This patch prevents the mouse cursor from being shown for KDE's OpenGL screensavers by setting a blank override cursor for the screensaver application when not run in demo mode.


Diffs
-----

  kscreensaver/libkscreensaver/main.cpp 561205a 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/119663/diff/


Testing
-------

Set one of KDE's OpenGL screensavers in systemsettings->Display and Monitor->Screen Locker, like Euphoria or Solarwinds.
Wait for the screensaver to kick in.
Notice that the mouse pointer is blanked now, whereas it was shown without this patch.

If a password is required, the mouse cursor does correctly re-appear for the greeter as it should if you move the mouse/press a key to get rid of the screensaver.

I'm using the patch on my systems for over two months now and haven't noticed any unexpected results.


Thanks,

Wolfgang Bauer
