[Bug 428884] Re: Vlc does not inhibit screensaver
Xtophe (from vlc upstream) suggested that debian bug #541968 and gnome
bug #579430 may be relevant. I've checked the proposed patch to gnome-
screensaver, and it indeed seems that vlc is using a function in gnome-
screensaver that has been replaced by a stub (well, rather a FIXME).
If gnome-screensaver is detected, VLC sends the Poke and
SImulateUserActivity signals in modules/misc/screensaver.c, function
poke_screensaver. Poke does not seem implemented at all, and
SimulateUserActivity leads to this function:
static void
gs_monitor_simulate_user_activity (GSMonitor *monitor)
{
/* FIXME: reset the xsync timer? */
/* request that the manager unlock -
will pop up a dialog if necessary */
gs_manager_request_unlock (monitor-priv-manager);
}
I agree with xtophe that the proposed patch from the gnome bug could
help here. Would someone please try that patch out?
