If you have a screensaver that supports any of the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver, org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit, org.mate.SessionManager or org.gnome.SessionManager D-Bus interfaces, this should not happen. In that case Inhibit respectivelly Uninhibit are called. For the xdg-screensaver fallback, this discussion is best taken upstream. > > Also, disabling the screensaver while is video is paused is incorrect, > IMHO.
