Description Matthieu Moy 2010-10-02 08:13:32 UTC 
Hi,

I'm running a basic window manager, and my screensaver is the basic X11 one (configured with "xset s ..."). xdg-screensaver doesn't support it, hence, tools like vlc which are supposed to deactivate the screensaver do not do it anymore.

There's a Debian bug with a patch attached:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511248

The patch works for me. I'm attaching it here for convenience.

I like the idea, I'll work to adapt it to be a little safer, and see...

This patch has been applied at some point. Closing.
