Yeah, I think this is the main issue. It can cause two problems: - The login screen appears on the laptop screen (which is closed) - New windows or the desktop toolbar appear on the laptop screen (which is closed) I think the fun will come from systems that don't properly report their lid status. I think this is one of the complaints from the X developers. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
