Scenario: I disabled the screensaver whilst I was watching a dvd, and afterwards forgot to enable it again. Sometime later, I was baffled why 'lock screen' option from the gnome menu wasn't working any more. If screensaver is disabled, 'lock screen' should at least put up an empty black screen IMO.
Me too. Took a few minutes realising that I had to enable my screensaver again.
The right fix is for the DVD-playing programs to report a playing movie as "activity" to xscreensaver so that it doesn't blank while the movie is playing and not paused. See FAQ: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#dvd
