[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#700696: acpi-support: race in sleep script delays screen locking to after resume

[Tormod Volden]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.141-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-acpi/acpi-support.git;a=commitdiff;h=9fb9c28886b4002306428ac2b7ff04779bd0e0cb
changed the xscreensaver-command -lock invocation to be run in
background. This results in /etc/acpi/sleep_suspend.sh calling
pm-suspend before the locking has been done.

Upon resuming from sleep, the screen is displayed for a second before
the screensaver fades the screen and locks it. Some users consider this
a security issue.


Simply removing the backgrounding &'s fixes the issue.
