Description Toralf Förster 2011-09-23 02:51:27 UTC

Under Gentoo Linux I get :

$> unset DISPLAY xdg-screensaver status
xset:  unable to open display ""
/usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: line 720: [: : integer expression expected
/usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: line 722: [: : integer expression expected
ERROR: xset q did not report the screensaver timeout

oh boy, indeed there's a big assumption in xdg-screensaver that this is all operating inside an X server (and that $DISPLAY is defined).

I'll have to think about how best to handle this case.
