I don't want the keyboard locked immediately. I don't neccessarily want the display turned back off. I don't neccessarily have a lid. If we can put the "I know whats good for you, there shall be no configuration" idiocy aside we might be able to create a better OS. I don't want the display off immediately as it wears out the backlight continually going on/off with activity over short durations. I don't want the keyboard to lock because I'm still present (I've got a seperate bluetooth phone presence driven screen locker than you) and I thus would like to configure my system not have it dictated to me. I would submit that immediate display off is wrong - even for defaults, backlights are not designed to be abused that way, so you probably want a 5 minute (say) timeout of blank screensaver before turning it off. Lock keyboard immediately is annoying IMHO but is right according to any security recommendation and only annoying if some idiot doesn't make it configurable easily. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
