[Bug 30969] monitor goes to standby when playing a movie in totem fullscreen

[Hidde Brugmans]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When I play a movie fullscreen in totem(-xine), the monitor goes to
standby in 20 minutes.

The screensaver does run, if I set the timeout to 1 minute it will run
when not in fullscreen, and won't if it's fullscreen.

However, the monitor goes to standby, regardless of the timeout value
entered in gnome-power-manager.

If I set g-p-m timeout to 1 minute, nothing happens. If I set it to
"never" the screen will still go to standby.

After consulting with mjg59, it seems that all g-p-m does is  modify a
gconf key, and gnome-screensaver is the only thing that actually tells X
to send the monitor to standby.

So, this might be two bugs.
 -> monitor goes to standby even when playing movie in fullscreen
 -> the timeout value of g-p-m seems to have no effect.

Running dapper.
Please help me debug.
