Description of problem: when playing a video, the gnome screensaver does not turn off. I have to either adjust the idle time far outwards or disable the screensaver to watch a movie uninterrupted. In F11 this was not a problem and watching a movie uninterrupted was ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. set screen saver idle time to be less than length of video 2. watch a video in full screen - I use VLC 3. when idle time is reached, video goes out. Actual results: have to get up from my comfy couch and touch mouse or keyboard Expected results: I should be able to be a couch potato and not move. I'm lazy Additional info:
It is the reponsibility of whatever app you use to tell the screensaver that it is not needed right now. The modern mechanism for doing so it use an 'inhibit' using the org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibit() method. I recommend that you file a bug against your media player app, pointing them to http://www.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-session/docs/gnome-session.html#org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibit
