not sure, the upstream bug report looks more like synchronizing screen savers, but the issue observed here is that for some reason gnome-screensaver decides to show the black screen with menu bar and clock instead of powering down the display

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Appears to be a wide spread issue affecting Linux, OSX & Window 7.

So should this be closed?

It should be fixed!

But as nobody cared since 2012, I do not mind if you close it.
