The experimental one only flips from sound on - mute - sound on.
the reverse does not flip:
mute - sound on (and stays on).
The normal keyset doe not flip back and forth at all.
Ah, so the buttons don't even light up? (Or give you that "tactile feedback" vibration, if you've got that on.) I guess it is something UI-related, then.
no the buttons work fine, they light up and give the click sound, and stay lighted when keeping them pressed (I dont have tactile on)

Hmm. I'm not seeing this effect on my machines, but then I'm still not testing on CSSU yet. (And yeah, everybody here has been getting on my back about that. ) I suppose it could be something CSSU related, although I haven't seen similar complaints from other users.

I doubt qtlockscreen would do anything. (If it did, it should be affecting more apps than just Pierogi...) Then again, I suppose I should ask -- are you seeing this only-one-button-works-effect with any other apps?
No, no problems anywhere else, the ui in pierogi seems to work fine as well, it is just that it seems to only send the command once.
( i cannt check the infra red led as my eyes dont quite detect in that range )

And yeah, the whole "portrait-mode-pseudo-feature" aspect of CSSU is very annoying for us folks who do want to lock our apps into a particular orientation. <petulant mode>I've even got "X-CSSU-Force-Landscape" set in Pierogi's .desktop file, but I guess it doesn't work nearly as well as the non-CSSU locking mechanism... You could try turning off "forced rotation", but of course nobody does that, because it is by far the most popular feature of CSSU, despite officially not being a feature of CSSU. </petulant mode>
I dont quite like the forced rotation myself and it is switched off on my device. rotation is nice on some applications but not all and i tend to lock applications in one way anyway as switching between orientations is not instantanious. I´m on cssu-thumb mainly because it gives more free ram. which seems to help speed wise
I have changed the qtlockscreen theme to default now. I had it set on a portrait one and now when i switch the screen off and on again pierogi appears as it should (landscape).
no change in behaviour however.

(I also tried to turn of desktop rotation but something seems to have changed and setting desktop lock in gconf doesnt seem to have any effect)
Let me nose around the CSSU changelogs a bit. Maybe they'll have a hint as to some UI updates that might cause this effect.
