[Bug 56760] Gnome-screensaver ignores joypad input

[Chris Lord]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

gnome-screensaver often comes on when I'm playing a game full screen
with the joypad. This can be rather annoying as the screen slowly fades
and you wonder what the heck's going on, then you realise and rush for
your wireless mouse that's since gone to sleep, wake it back up and
frantically move it around, all the while you're losing at whatever game
you're playing...

I suggest that gnome-screensaver should either listen to /dev/input/js*
or that it check if a window's full-screen and not turn on in those
cases... Or that zsnes and xmame are modified to turn off the
screensaver :)
