(Xubuntu previously used XScreensaver.) Behaviour: The screensaver blanks the screen (after the timeout that the user defined in light-locker-settings, by default 10mins) despite the video playing in fullscreen. [Test Case] Play back a video file in Parole with screenblanking enabled (can be checked with "xset q | grep timeout"). [Regression potential] None apparent, tested in Trusty. [Other Info] A little background: this problem became apparent only in Trusty with the switch from XScreensaver to light-locker. As light-locker doesn't handle screenblanking itself but instead relies on X11's builtin screensaver (aka MIT screensaver extension), it needs xdg-utils/screensaver's support for inhibiting the blanking. For some reason, xdg-screensaver doesn't support controlling X11's screensaver extension in Xfce, probably for historical reasons (e.g. most distros with Xfce use XScreensaver).
