That doesn't matter; all that that means is that gxine doesn't have to take any further action concerning gnome-screensaver.

Perhaps... something like the following to be added to README? Screen blanking --------------- Blanking is allowed to happen while there is no media being played or while the media stream is paused. The display will be unblanked (or, rather, unblanking will be triggered) when playback is started or resumed. gxine tries various methods to (temporarily) defeat screen savers, so if you see a message something like "can't poke gnome-screensaver", it's almost certainly nothing to worry about.
