Yes, it is. xdg-screensaver effectively uses --poke, which is marked wontfix at gnome upstream. The relevant upstream report is: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579430 I don't understand why the respective launchpad report is 'fixreleased', probably it was decided to follow upstream and force all applications, like xdg-screensaver here, to port to the new gnome-specific inhibit API. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/428884/ TBH, whole situation is a mess. I don't see how xdg-screensaver can be sensibly adapted to the new API. The issue should really be discussed and solved at the freedesktop level. regarding comment #3: this bug is not about vlc but xdg-screenaver. vlc has adopted the gnome specific inhibit API which does not help applications that require a cross desktop solution. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #579430 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579430 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497318 Title: xdg-screensaver: use new gnome-screensaver 2.28 API -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
