Description

From the following mail: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-March/033491.html

Agreed. An XScreenSaver bug. At least here XScreenSaverSuspend( dpy, True ) does nothing[*] - the idle counter returned by XScreenSaverQueryInfo() does not stop increasing, despite what the XScreenSaver manpage says. Which only supports my point from the thread linked above that this extension is broken.

[*] The whole sequence is: XScreenSaverQueryExtension( dpy, &dummy, &dummy ); XScreenSaverSuspend( dpy, True ); XSync( dpy, False ); sleep( 120 ); I can't see how I could possibly make any mistake here.
