OK, could you please try running the following commands and send me the output: sh -x /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver suspend $(xwininfo -root|grep "Window id:"| cut -d' ' -f4) sh -x /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver resume $(xwininfo -root|grep "Window id:"| cut -d' ' -f4) You might want to kill any xdg-screensaver processes afterwards if they continue running after 50 seconds. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
