705.0. "Question on ENS and screen saver behavior" by CSC32::D_DONOVAN (SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing)) Mon May 01 1995 17:35

	This issue is somewhat similar to the question posed in #658 but in 
this instance a customer knows how to "turn the screen save off" but needs to
find out how to disable from PCM after an event is signaled and then have PCM 
turn the screen saver back on after the event has been cleared ala VCS 
behavior.   In the customer's words:

	Under VCS, when an event occurred, and the one-shot style window 
	appeared, it would cancel the screen saver, so my operators could 
	see the event.  This no longer happens with PCM.  It renders the 
	console rather useless with respect to data center notification 
	unless I can get it to interrupt the screen saver.

	Until I find out how to do this, I have disabled the screen saver;  
	However, I don't really like the idea of burning out a $3000 graphics 
	terminal...  So, what do I do?


Thanks,

Dennis

	Dennis, The one-shot window on VCS and the Single-Shot window on PCM are identical, they are exactly the same code (except for a couple of bug fixes) and they are invoked in an identical manner. So, I must assume that the behaviour of Motif is different to that of XUI (which is what VCS supported). Now, as for getting the old behaviour back, maybe someone who knows more about Motif and Window managers etc can shed some light. Cheers, Phil
