nothing at all mentioning the word "location" Did the location services
dbus API get taken over by the espoo thing? Is GPS even turned on here?
Is there any up to date documentation for this stuff?


you initially asked about signals when the screen is unlocked (this is
what i was answering to) ...
yeah, sorry I am on a rambling crusade to get location services to do its job and know where I am and not where I used to be.
try using the session dbus instead, there should be
DisplayPowerStateChange for the screen on/off events as well as
com.canonical.UnityGreeter being active or inactive signals for the
lock/unlock states.
yup, there it is
signal sender=:1.0 -> dest=(null destination) serial=45372 path=/com/ubuntu/Upstart; interface=com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6; member=EventEmitted
   string "dbus"
   array [
      string "SIGNAL=DisplayPowerStateChange"
      string "BUS=system"
      string "INTERFACE=com.canonical.Unity.Screen"
      string "OBJPATH=/com/canonical/Unity/Screen"
      string "SENDER=:1.44"
      string "ARG0=0"
      string "ARG1=2"
   ]
with ARG0 being the state it is changing to, which is great.
