Slimlock bypassed with dualscreen. #7

Open erikw opened 11 years ago

erikw commented 11 years ago

Hi,

I'm running a up-to-date arch installation on my Thinkpad T430s using aur/slimlock 0.12-1.

If slimlock is activated and I put my laptop in my docking station, which is connected to a second monitor, my desktop becomes fully available on that screen while the screen is still locked on the laptop screen.

Has this been solved?

Not that I know of. I switch to slock recently.

FYI: A similar problem with slimlock 1.3.6 still exists:

When slimlock is activated on one monitor I can still see the content of the second monitor and I am also able to click there. However, slimlock always keeps screen focus, so at least I can't type on the second monitor.

This is probably because in the Panel class all the info about monitors is only gotten once when its created. To fix this a function would need to be added which updates this info and then updates the panel if necessary.

Slimlock was merged with slim shortly before the project basically got abandoned. However, I see that somebody has archived it https://github.com/data-modul/slim. I'm not going to fix this (I don't have a laptop to test it with right now). But if somebody does fix it, I would suggest you make a pull over there.
