[Bug 182831] Re: miro disables screensaver and dpms in kubuntu 7.10

[JoelOl75]

Now the bug is the oppositefor me.  Miro doesn't disable the screensaver
at all.  While watching movies I need to move the mouse or else every
10mins the screensaver kicks in.  The happens even in fullscreen.  I'm
currently running Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) Hardy:

Linux psyserveftp 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 19:35:06 UTC 2008
x86_64 GNU/Linux

OS:         Linux
Version:    1.2.8
Revision:   https://svn.participatoryculture.org/svn/dtv/tags/Miro-1.2.8/tv/resources - 8366
Builder:    pbuilder at mercury
Build Time: 1225304414.86

Listed as version 1.2.8-0pcf2 in synaptic.

This doesn't apply as the problem lies within gnome-screensaver and
previously I was running KDE

I managed a workaround to disable the screensaver while miro is running,
but this is not ideal as it stops the screensaver/DPMS all the time,
even when minimized, but it's better than having to kick the table with
the mouse on it every 10mins from the bed while watching a movie.

My workaround will work with any program that doesn't disable gnome-
screensaver and is easy to apply.  The script and how to is at
http://stinker.serveftp.net:8000/gscreensaver.html if anyone is
interested.

I don't use KDE so I can't test this at the moment. I believe there is
already a bug posted reguarding the new no screensaver/gnome problem but
somehow it disappeared off lauchpad.
