Bug Description

When Image Viewer is in Full Screen Mode and gnome-screensaver attemps to work. It fails then it will not work at all by any method (using Lock Screen, Changing Settings etc...) there's only one way I've found to fix it.

Which is by killing the process(gnome-screensaver) and restarting it, everything works fine then.

makes eog use gnome-screensaver-command to handle screensavers in slideshow or fullscreen mode instead of xscreensaver-command if available

The bug is not about the screensaver starting when beeing in fullscreen but about it not working as appropriate, the patch seems to be a workaround

the patch is an enhancement, not a workaround, the handling of screensavers is already built in, it uses the same approach as the original xscreensaver-command handler for gnome-screensaver-command, there might be a reason upstream added a handler to disable the screensaver, probably the reason causing this bug, i didnt test disabling the builting xscreensaver handler, in any case its only using an existing method with a different program to make it working compatible with this program.

Fixed upstream with that comment:

"This patch is not correct. It looks for gnome-screensaver at a specific path
(/usr/bin) only.

I fixed the patch and applied it. Thanks!
