[Bug 365770] Re: Screensaver starts while playing a Video with Kaffeine

[phizzog]

I'm running Kubuntu 9.04. I don't have gnome installed, I may have some
libraries, but no gnome-screensaver. Nothing else seems to start up in
parallel with kaffeine.

I did have the KDE screensaver kicking in, until I disabled it, but this
doesn't stop the monitor from switching off in the middle of watching
something.

My guess is that either an application is expected to disable the
screensaver (which in turn is meant to disable the energy saving screen
blanking), or it is meant to do both itself. If nothing has changed with
Kaffeine, then perhaps the behaviour of X has changed? The way that an
app is meant to notify X it is a video player, playing a video, may have
changed- either a new method introduced, or an older method or quirk has
been removed- that might explain why other video players are fine?
