I'm running Kubuntu 9.04. I don't have gnome installed, I may have some libraries, but no gnome-screensaver. Nothing else seems to start up in parallel with kaffeine.
I did have the KDE screensaver kicking in, until I disabled it, but this doesn't stop the monitor from switching off in the middle of watching something. My guess is that either an application is expected to disable the screensaver (which in turn is meant to disable the energy saving screen blanking), or it is meant to do both itself. If nothing has changed with Kaffeine, then perhaps the behaviour of X has changed? The way that an app is meant to notify X it is a video player, playing a video, may have changed- either a new method introduced, or an older method or quirk has been removed- that might explain why other video players are fine? -- Screensaver starts while playing a Video with Kaffeine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365770 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kaffeine in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
