Dbus changed?

[Reid Rivenburgh]

Another thing that's no longer working after upgrading to F11 is a
perl program I have that detects the screen being locked.  It
basically reads output from this command:

my $cmd = "dbus-monitor --session
\"type='signal',interface='org.gnome.ScreenSaver',member='SessionIdleChanged'\"";

(FYI, I call gdmflexiserver to bring up the gdm login when the
screen's locked.)  It never generates any output when I lock the
screen now.  Has this changed?  I saw something in the release notes
about dbus, but it sounded more like a SElinux thing.

Thanks again,
Reid

Not sure why that isn't working but the DBus changes have nothing to do
with SELinux. Details at

Thanks for the pointer.  My mistake about SELinux; I don't use it, but
I guess I think of it when I see "security policy".  And like you,
still not sure why dbus-monitor isn't working....

Dbus has not changed, gnome-session does handle the idle state now,
not gnome-screeensaver.

That would make sense, but I can't find any documentation related to
it.  If I just replace org.gnome.ScreenSaver in the dbus-monitor
command with org.gnome.Session (or SessionManager) it still doesn't
work.  Can you point me in the right direction...?

Thanks,
Reid

Thanks, but I don't see any references to handling idleness in those
docs....  Am I missing something obvious here?

The docs are missing the Presence interface that you'll have to use...

That did indeed do the trick, thanks!
