I'll add that xdg-screensaver is an unmitigated piece of crap. It reimplements the bugs that using D-Bus for inhibition is supposed to fix (namely that if the app disappears, the screensaver shouldn't be left inhibited).
You could add D-Bus support to xscreensaver without linking to a D-Bus implementation. Look at the SDL2 code, it implements the same inhibition mechanism that Firefox and VLC implement through a dlopen()'ed libdbus.so. However, I would recommend that you use a modern screensaver if you expect modern features. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434476 Title: screensaver starts while playing HTML5 videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/434476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
