Bug#833476: mate-screensaver: Screensaver gets tiled under xmonad

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: mate-screensaver
Version: 1.14.1-1
Severity: normal

I had a happy (if weird, and hardly supported) MATE + xmonad combination
until 1.14. Now my screensaver runs in a tiled window. Which isn't a
very effective thing for a screensaver to do.

Attached is a screenshot, showing 3 tiled screensaver windows, that were
presumably intended to cover the 3 monitors.

Not sure if I'm reporting the same bug as #826636. Or if you'd consider
this an xmonad bug. But it does seem to be a regression in
mate-screensaver 1.14.
