totem don't inhibit blank screen

totem don't inhibit screen goes off and there is no way to disable this option at all in the bridgnes settings.
Are you running under GNOME? Is gnome-screensaver running?
Yes, totem over gnome shell 3.6. I have not installed gnome-screensaver so no, it`s not running. Should be gnome-screensaver installed in order inhibit screen goes off?
Totem correctly uses GTK+ to tell gnome-session to not blank the screen: $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager --method org.gnome.SessionManager.GetInhibitors ([objectpath '/org/gnome/SessionManager/Inhibitor38'],) $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Inhibitor38 --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibitor.GetReason ('Playing a movie',) $ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SessionManager --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/Inhibitor38 --method org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibitor.GetFlags (uint32 8,) (that's 1 << 3, thus IDLE)
I can only reproduce the bug on one of my machines, the other won't even blank the screen.
I get same results polling /org/gnome/SessionManager/Inhibitor1 but screen goes off while totem playing video anyway.
I believe that was fixed in gnome-settings-daemon, see bug 686339. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 686339 ***
