[Bug 505149] Re: mplayer does not disable gnome-screensaver during playback

[Reinhard Tartler]

okay, I've now done some tests and can perhaps explain your
observations. The binary installed in the mplayer package is actually
'gmplayer', sometimes called 'mplayer-gui'. It is actually widely
unmaintained and known to be buggy.

As for our screensaver patch. It seems to work only in these conditions:

 - in mplayer windowed mode iff the pointer is inside the window
 - in mplayer gui mode

It does *not* seem to work in the following conditions:

 - in mplayer winowed mode if the pointer is outside the window
 - in gmplayer in fullscreen
 - in gmplayer in windowed mode
