Screen locker not disabled by VLC
Among the casualties caused by the upgrade to KDE 4.10 is, on my system,
that the screen saver is not disabled anymore by media players, in
particular VLC. So, when I watch a movie now, I have to hit a key or
move the mouse every now and then in order to avoid the screen from
being locked.
I'm using the "Simple locker", although I'd prefer to use the "normal"
screen saver with a blank screen. However, the latter doesn't appear to
work. I get a blank screen for a very short time, but then the "simple
locker" kicks in. One time, after logging out and in again, session
management restored about 50 black screen saver windows.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
