There are two problems here:
- the previous versions of g-p-m were relying on gnome-screensaver for
the timer delay: g-p-m timer started only when gnome-screensaver set the
the session as idle. This is not the case anymore, the two timers
(g-p-m's timer and gnome-screensaver timer) seem to be independant, is
it the (new) normal behaviour ?
- to set the timer 2.24 was relying on a slider, 2.28 now has a combobox
with preset values: 1, 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes or never. How am I supposed
to set an 11 minutes delay now ? I may have skipped a configuration
option somewhere, but it seems to me that some things have change for
the worse...
