I can't comment on the vlc devs decisions, obviously.. Could they maybe have ended up with that solution due to the cross platform nature of VLC? I would not expect an application that gets used heavily on windows to take full advantage of X11 protocols.. But looking at the usage for xdg-screensaver, it does sound like a useful thing. I have no idea how it works though, it certainly doesn't for me.. > the only thing that might be better is a window hint and > let the wm control it - then it can change policy based on the state of the > window (visible or not, fullscreen or not, on current desktop or not - maybe > only affect no-blank on that particular screen (though not possible in x11with > dpms etc. - just the blacking out of the screen) etc.) Sounds good to me, but apparently, a full screen VLC isn't fullscreen.. I do have the "Disable blanking for Fullscreen Windows" setting ticked, but it does still blank. Incidentally, it seemed that that E crashed each time it was blanking earlier today.. I enabled presentation mode to make it stop. -- Cheers, Morten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
