Public bug reported: I often watch movies on the web. When I use Totem, everything's fine, but when I use Flash-videos in Firefox, the screensaver kicks in after a while, making me get up. I don't want to disable the screensaver, because it shuts down my monitor when I don't use it.
So whenever I play video in Firefox, the screensaver should be inhibited. It should work regardless of how the video is being played. I suppose, if there's lots of changes going on in the Firefox window, it should be inhibited, because that means it's probably meant to be watched.
