Oh, okay. I overread "automatic" above. Sorry. I enjoyed that automatic screen locking inhibition already. It finally works, so that during VLC playing a DVD the machine does not blank or lock the screen. I see the issue there. I know why its done that way, but still, if you forget to lock your desktop it can be a security issue. But so or so its an upstream topic. Thanks, -- Martin
