Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jan Iven (iven) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: [sec]: Disable default keyboard grabbing Initial Comment: Given that the problem with unintentional keyboard grabbing (with local screensaver passwords ending up in IM or Word documents) appears to be recurring and not fixed in 1.3.1, I have cobbled together a small patch to turn it off by default (and add a command line option to turn back on). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ilya Konstantinov (ikonst) Date: 2005-10-26 19:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=335423 Hm, good thinking. Was this patch commited? BTW, I'd rephrase "(think Instant Messaging clients)" as "(e.g. chat applications)". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=381349&aid=1042089&group_id=24366 |
