** Description changed:
Binary package hint: mplayer
+ Ubuntu ships a patch for inhibiting the screensaver that was rejected
+ upstream. It seems to work only in these conditions:
+
+ - in mplayer windowed mode iff the pointer is inside the window
+ - in mplayer gui mode
+
+ It does *not* seem to work in the following conditions:
+
+ - in mplayer windowed mode if the pointer is outside the window
+ - in gmplayer in fullscreen
+ - in gmplayer in windowed mode
+
+
+ Original Report follows:
mplayer does not disable gnome-screensaver during playback
Cliffnotes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gnome-screensaver activates after several minutes during video playback in
Mplayer.
Stop XScreenSaver is checked in Mplayer preferences.
