Bug Description

hi,
why did my screen turned all black while reading internet news?
when it turned black, i tried to move the touchpad and the it is normal again but
i noticed an additional icon on my upper panel.
i moved the cursor/mouse over and it says

" Session active, not inhibited ,screen idle."
If you can see this text, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor.
Please see http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/

what will i do ?
 the icon appeared is square with 4 red arrows on corners, similar to icon of "full screen view" of screensaver.
can i just delete the icon and not worry about it?

thanks ,
Gary

hi sir perdo,

thanks for reading my question.
i think we can cancel this question as this problem happened on 9.10 .
i moved to 10.04 just recently, just a month now.
as you will notice the date i reported it was still 2010.

as for my other question which you replied lately also. you asked me to move to 10.10.
today i went to computer shop searching for a new laptop so i can install 10.10 or whatever ubuntu.
i can not just delete this present 10.04 on my HP, this is also new and so far as of today it is working fine now.
i will still observe if no minor/major problem will occur.
the only problem i encountered is the visualization in rhythmbox.
not so important to me so i am not in a hurry to just delete this 10.04 so i told you i just look for another unit
for testing new OS.
i reported the visualization problem so for engineers/programmers in the community can repair it so that new
linux user will not encounter same problem , so they will enjoy..ha ha ha..

oh. i have another report which i will check again.
in "audacious" ..
i think i have the problem both in 9.10 and 10.04.
it is the "rep" and "rand" button on the player.
when tick, it will crash/corrupt the music file/album in playlist editor.
i will check that report again to make sure if i also have it in 10.04. i can't remember.
i am afraid to tick the button again.
it also affect the music files in music folder played during the time the button was ticked.
i will post this question again since it is about audacious..
this is a different case..

again, thanks for your help..
