Review request for kde-workspace and Martin Gräßlin.
Bugs: 311571 and 316459
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311571
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316459
Repository: kde-workspace
Description
-------
Setting the cursor to ArrowCursor when calling XGrabPointer() prevents the Screen \
savers from blanking the mouse cursor.
I don't know why this has been done in the first place, but I couldn't see any \
negative effect by setting it to None. Now the mouse cursor even changes to the IBeam \
again when over the password field, which I find more intuitive.
Diffs
-----
ksmserver/screenlocker/ksldapp.cpp f0526cf
Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/114841/diff/
Testing
-------
Configure a Screen saver in systemsettings and wait for it to kick in (or lock the \
screen manually). Previously (since 4.10) the mouse cursor stayed visible, now it is \
blanked like it was the case before 4.10. Moving the mouse/pressing a key (to quit \
the Screen saver) makes the mouse cursor appear again as it should, regardless of \
whether the screen is locked or not.
Thanks,
Wolfgang Bauer
