[Bug 1303712] Re: [FFe] Remove gnome screensaver with unity installation

 

Thanks for the work, some thoughts on the changes:

First, having Unity doing the handling rather than relying on g-s makes
sense, good work in that direction ;-)


Some issues/things to consider though

- it's late in the cycle, gnome-screensaver interfaces with other
components for e.g idle count. We need to make sure we don't regress
anything if we change that

-  it's possible to install several desktops on the same machine, we
can't really make Unity to uninstall gnome-screensaver when it's still
used in e.g gnome-panel sessions

- Luke did that change https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
screensaver/3.6.1-0ubuntu11

it seems like he didn't open a bug/give specifics on the issues with the
screenreader (Marco said it should be working). Luke could you open a
bug about the issues you had and provide details?
