I have experimental patches [4] which inhibits xscreensaver (apply to sysutils/power-manager-common). To enable, new property must be created: > > xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode -n -t bool -s true > > To disable: > xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode -T I see this option in the panel; do I still need to run the above commands? The panel icon now shows correctly if I'm running on line power or battery (as it did before upower 0.99). An estimate is given about battery life and I also receive notifications; the two however don't agree at all: e.g. panel gives 2h1', notification says 2' (60 times less). Closing the lid does not lock the screen: this was working before (with older upower). Also, the new panel item is a big waste on a 10" monitor: with the older version the icon lived in the notification area. Is this behaviour still possible? Overall, it looks like the old functionality (the one that upower 0.99 broke) was in part (but not all) recovered. bye & Thanks av.
