Description Frederic Peters 2011-03-13 13:30:54 UTC 
** (eog:6647): WARNING **: Problem inhibiting the screensaver: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "InhibitActivation" with signature "s" on interface "org.gnome.ScreenSaver" doesn't exist

This is because that D-Bus interface has been removed in latest gnome-screensaver; totem-scrsaver.c has been updated in totem source tree, perhaps it's just a matter of syncing it.

Yes, that seems to do it. :)

    Merge latest TotemScreensaver changes into eog's local copy
    
    This includes several bugfixes and makes eog use the Inhibitor-API
    in gnome-session instead of gnome-screensaver.
