[Bug 1225752] [NEW] Screensaver activates when watching youtube / flash video

[Rajeev Nair]

Public bug reported:

Hi

Why does the screensaver activate when watching a flash video online in
the browser? Pardon my language, but how dumb can the system be to not
understand that some activity is going on ?

Works fine on windows, why do i need to  disable screensaver on Ubuntu
to peacefully watch some online videos?
