Bug#352003: Confirming 352003

[brian m. carlson]

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.20.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #352003

This bug still exists in the latest version of gnome-screensaver.  I can 
reproduce it with the tomatoes package, when it's fullscreen.  Because 
both windows try to override the other, it's impossible to clear the 
screensaver, and the only way out is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.  This can cause 
non-serious data loss, since I don't usually expect playing a game to 
end up forcing me to terminate my X session.

gnome-screensaver should use the same method as xscreensaver (which is 
checking the idle time), which will fix this problem with mplayer (as 
reported upstream), since mplayer sends null mouse movements to the X 
session to fool xscreensaver.

Thank you.
