Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

I recently upgraded my laptop from lucid to maverick, and found after rebooting that gnome-screensaver is not temporarily disabled by totem. I'm uncertain as to whether this is totem's fault or gnome-screensaver's, but somehow the two are not coöperating.

All you have to do to reproduce is set the screensaver timeout to five minutes and try to watch a six minute movie.

The issue seems to be with totem. If you start it with a video, then it doesn't try to inhibit the screensaver. However, if you pause and then resume the video, it will inhibit as expected

This bug was fixed in the package totem - 2.31.90-0ubuntu2

---------------
totem (2.31.90-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Fix LP: #630753 - gnome-screensaver activates while watching a movie
    in totem. Attempting to inhibit the screensaver before running the main
    loop will always fail, because the DBus proxy will not be setup yet,
    and the X11 fallback doesn't do anything in Ubuntu
    - add debian/patches/08_scrsaver_startup_inhibit.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
