Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.23-1 Severity: normal Hello,
I am using a media player (totem) that uses the dbus GnomeSession Inhibit call to disable screensaver. I wrote a GnomeSession implementation that calls xscreensaver-command -deactivate every time the Inhibit rpc is called and prints the time for debugging purpose. I set the blank interval to 10 min and dpms to 20 min. Screen is balnked although the Inhibit rpc is called about once every minute. the media player sometimes waits a bit more than one minute but definitely under two minutes. How I am supposed to disable the screensaver when the -deactivate command is ineffective? Attaching the GnomeSession implementation.
