screensaver not disabled when playing video

Hi, Totem should disable screensaver when a video is player, unfortunately it is not the case for me. I use totem 2.17.3 and gnome-screensaver 2.16.1-0ubuntu1 I did a gnome-screensaver --debug --no-daemon 1&2>~/gscreensaver.log, run totem in fullscreen mode and looked for inhibitor and found nothing.
Please verify that your Totem is built with D-Bus support.
Yes it seems so (((baptiste@babel)))-> ldd `which totem`|grep dbus libdbus-glib-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 (0xb7318000) libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0xb72e6000)
Huh, you are in fullscreen, right? Totem only disable the screensaver when in fullscreen.
it does the same on my feisty desktop. The configure doesn't print a summary of options but dbus is found and totem is linked with it so I think it's build with d-bus support. Using dbus-monitor there is no activity from totem. Switching to fullscreen (with the 'F' key) doesn't do anything on the dbus level. It does the same with totem-gstreamer and totem-xine
2006-12-06 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * configure.in: print out all the options enabled/disabled after the configure checks, re-add the "unused" D-Bus checks, they were used by the gnome-screensaver code, and broken since 2.17.2 (Closes: #380675)
