Profiles don't work when you need to go into the preferences to switch them. Especially in that case when it's to work-around what an application does. The way the system behaves should really be "helped" by the applications. If the application knows that the user is reading a book, then it should disable idle. That's already what Totem and Evince do when you're watching a movie or doing a presentation. > Like it sucked and we got something better in store for users or yeah it > could work but needs some work :) Cheers -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
