Description Sven Arvidsson 2006-11-12 16:40:53 UTC 
Several users of Totem in Debian have reported that totem fails to stop xscreensaver when playing movies. This seems to happen if only xscreensaver and not gnome-screensaver is installed.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2006-11-27 17:00:57 UTC 
Please set out a breakpoint in fake_event() to see if fake events are being generated to disable the screensaver.

Also double-check the configure logs for whether HAVE_XTEST is set in config.h.
Comment 2 Sven Arvidsson 2006-11-28 15:19:17 UTC 
From a quick look in the build log I noticed this,

 checking for XTestFakeKeyEvent in -lXtst... no

Could this be the problem?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2006-11-29 15:49:43 UTC 
Yep, either a missing build-dep, or a broken configure check. Attach the output of config.log and we can check it out.
Comment 4 Sven Arvidsson 2006-11-29 22:28:47 UTC 
Turns out it really was a missing build-dep, rebuilding with libxtst-dev makes everything work the way it should.

Thanks for helping me sorting this out! :)
