</div>It sure is. The plan for Wayland is that the lock screen is just part<br>
of the compositor. There are no problems with detecting idle or other<br>
applications having grabs this way, and the compositor completely<br>
controls what goes on the screen so you don't have other applications<br>
raising their window over the screensaver. There doesn't even have to<br>
be a screensaver window, the compositor can just paint a black screen.<br>
<br>
It is of course possible to define a plugin or an out-of-process (fork<br>
a special Wayland client and give it a special surface to render to,<br>
similar to your second option below) mechanism for rendering fun<br>
screensavers.<br>

compositor that they are "busy" drawing and that the lock should NOT be
engaged even though there hasn't been any keyboard/mouse activity for
long stretches? As compared to "default" apps that just paint "im
bored" over and over again, where the idle lock should get switched
on...<br></blockquote><div><br>Take a look at<br><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-April/010317.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-April/010317.html</a><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
