You are welcome to provide a patch for the VLC 1.0-bugfix branch if you are not happy.

And so there is no fix to be made on VLC's side. -- gnome-screensaver-command --poke no longer inhibits screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
