Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Ubuntu 9.10, gnome-screensaver 2.28.0-0ubuntu3
To reproduce: start watching a video (which is longer than your
screensaver idle tie). Enjoy the video and keep your hands away from the
keyboard and mouse. The screensaver starts.
Expected behavior: The screensaver doesn't start counting idle time
until the video ends.
I am filing against gnome-screensaver because I've observed this
behavior with both Totem and vlc in Karmic. Since this behavior has
changed since Jaunty, I suspect either a bug in gnome-screensaver or a
change in how to inhibit the screensaver which breaks the prior
mechanism used by totem and vlc (and possibly others).
I did see a note in the changelog about getting idle time from xorg. If
that is the cause of this issue, I would be happy to post bugs against
Totem and vlc, but it would be more effective if I could include
information about how to properly inhibit gnome-screensaver.
