As far as I know, the login screen runs as a different user (gdb, for instance, runs as user "gdm"). Since all the settings for power management, screensaver, etc are per-user settings, to get changes to stick, you need to get that user to have the right settings (which is non-trivial since the settings are usually stashed in dconf, but changing a different user's dconf is tricky, plus you need to discover the actual names of the relevant settings in the dconf database). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
