Bug Description

i'm testing espresso on xubuntu, this is the first patch:

ubuntu uses gnome-screensaver, xubuntu xscreensaver, the idea is to check

- if os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command')
- elif os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/xscreensaver-command')

and to pass different args to the function that was

- poke_gnome_screensaver(self)

now called

- turn_off_screensaver(self,command,opt)

where:

 - gnome-screensaver-command --poke == xscreensaver-command --deactivate

i'll try to contact Kamion the maint, there are more patches needed for xubuntu that i'll send as soon as i get more familiar with the code

  * Update various translations from Rosetta.

i' sorry if the patch title could be confising ... but within the patch the opt was correct (at least :) )

xscreensaver-command --disable

should be

xscreesaver-command --deactivate

ubiquity (0.99.64) dapper; urgency=low

  * GTK frontend:
    - Use xscreensaver-command --deactivate, not --disable (closes: Malone
      #40095).
    - Hide "Set Time..." button if time-admin isn't present.
    - Recommend gnome-system-tools for time-admin.
  * KDE frontend:
    - Fix import of UbiquityUIBase (closes: Malone #40939).
  * Set the SIGPIPE handler back to the default before spawning
    debconffiltered subprocesses, so that they notice when the UI crashes
    rather than carrying merrily on and e.g. trashing the partition table
    (closes: Malone #40464). Whose bright idea was it to have Python install
    a SIGPIPE handler but then not bother to have the subprocess module
    remove it, eh?
