[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 301184] Re: f-spot slide show can't be stopped if left on too long

[Rising Eagle]

This bug can now be reproduced and it is about poor mouse and
mouse/button handling during the slideshow.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: f-spot
  
  Similar but not the same as   #292721. I'm running 64 bit ibex on my
  gateway laptop. Slideshow runs fine and ends fine if I esc out in 2 or 3
  minutes. If I leave it on for a while (so sue me, I like to look at my
  girlfriend), esc and all other means of ending it fail. As it takes over
  the computer, I can't stop it. Not really knowing what it would do, I
  ctl-alt-backsp and it sent me back to the login screen which caused me
  to lose all my open work. My guess is that slideshow interferes with
  screensaver or powersaver.
+ 
+ Update:
+ Per chance, I recreated the problem and know what I did. Turns out that during the slideshow, there is no way to stop it with the mouse or any of the mouse buttons. The only way is with the esc button on the keyboard. Fiddling with the mouse and its buttons for a few minutes caused the slideshow to lock out the keyboard commands. The only way to stop it was with ctl-alt-backsp. So now we know, we need a way to esc out of the slideshow with the mouse. In my opinion, the way Totem Movie Player accomplishes this feature is a good approach to implement in f-spot
