[Bug 505149] Re: mplayer does not disable gnome-screensaver during playback

[Reinhard Tartler]

** 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.
