Re: Screensaver security diff: 4.4->4.5 ?[WORKAROUND]

Hi, I just installed 4.5.4 (f14) and notice that there is no longer the ability to get out of the screensaver without a password after activating the screensaver by moving the mouse to the screen edge. With kde<=4.4 you could move the mouse to an edge point (as configured in the screensaver "advanced options" setting seen below the "monitor" that shows the screen saver as a small graphic) and the screensaver activates. When you move the mouse away from the edge the screensaver goes away without needing a password. With 4.5.x, after moving the mouse to an edge point the screen is locked (just like ctrl-alt-l) and a p/w is needed to get back. If the 4.5 screensaver is configured to not require a p/w to get out and it times out naturally, this works as it did in 4.4 and no p/w is needed to get out. However, this has no effect on the screen edge activation which always requires a p/w with kde 4.5.x. Note the "advanced options" as part of the screen saver is no longer present in kde 4.5.x (at least for the slideshow under Banners& Pictures). With<=4.4 it was nice to be able to activated the slide show and see some pictures and then get back without needing a password. Now this feature seems to be removed in 4.5. -gene
