Hey! The code currently to check if the user is away or not is pretty horrible - this could indeed do with cleaning up. The way I see it though is there should just be 2 dbus signals in kdestop (or something) which emit signals for when the user is away, and when they are back. One of those is already implemented, but I can't remember where.. I can't see to find it now. John >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
