** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: tvtime
  
  TVTime's method to inhibit the screensaver implicates with the systems'
  normal usage (random shift key presses that make the shift key get
  "stuck" for 60 seconds: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/588473).
  
  There is a patch in Debian's bugzilla to "Use XScreenSaverExtension
  instead of typing text via XTest": http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458041.
  
  This bug is very annoying and has serious implications in the systems'
  usability (often, the shift key gets stuck for more than 30 seconds that
  leads to unwanted permanent deletion of files, can't click links in
  browser without launching new windows, etc.)
  
  tvtime 1.0.2 running on Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1) Install and run tvtime
+ 2) Start xev in a terminal and click on it
+ 3) Watch events appearing although you are not doing anything
+ 4) Stop xev and tvtime
+ 
+ With the proposed version of tvtime you will not see events in xev.
