Screen is disabled while watching a movie.

Steps to reproduce: * Go to settings -> screen * Set Disable screen after 1 minute (1 hour has the same effect of course, but you probably do not want to wait that long). * Open totem, open a very good movie, set it fullscreen * Lean back and enjoy * Enjoy I said, do not touch your mouse, or let your other screen (if you have that) distract you. What happens: * After 1 minute the screen turns black (lock screen). its a slow fade, so you have time to stop it by moving the mouse, but you have to lean forward for that. It breaks the mood of the movie. What should happen * Disabling the screen should be disabled while watching a fullscreen movie. I specified version 2.91.x but actually totem is already at 3.0.0 (I'm using the totem packages from gnome3 team ppa @ https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3
Are you running gnome-session and gnome-screensaver 3.0.0, as well?
gnome-session and gnome-screensaver packages are both at version 3.0.0. Both are running.
Does this still happen with newer versions of Totem?
No, well it did not happen anymore when I switched from Ubuntu 11.04 to Fedora 15 A) this is a problem that is fixed now B) this is a ubuntu specific bug Conclusion is anyway that this bug can be closed here.
I couldn't find anything specific to Totem that would have fixed the problem, so I'm guessing that other changes in the stack (gnome-screensaver or gnome-session) actually fixed the problem. Thanks for following up quickly.
