Colin, perhaps someone will listen once you write the patch. :)

:p

Well I run my frontend(s) on a machine(s) without a DE at all, nor does
it have any screensaver installed, so for me the motivation is not
really there!

I suppose all I'm saying is that the patch for specific gnome* or kde*
support is unlikely to be accepted by the devs anyway..... whereas xdg
support probably would be....

Re: [mythtv-commits] Ticket #3652: Gnome Screensaver support [In reply to]

I am using your patch since last Thursday and it is working for me
without problems.

Although it is not optimal ... but that is not your patch, it is
probably g-p-m architecture problem.

Example: I have two Xorg servers, mythfrontend does not allow "any of
gnome-screensavers" to be turned on. That means that all other display
will always stay ON, even if not used.

One more thing ... you should use "gnome-screensaver -inhibit" (and
deactivate) instead of -poke.

gnome-screensaver-command v2.14.3 (Debian Etch) does not offer
"-inhibit". And from the logic of the MythTV code I believe the
"--poke" is the right thing, anyway (it is called periodically - the
screen saver should not be disabled but just delayed, or simply the
inactivity timer should be reset - that way you don't need to call the
g-s-c to enable it back if you never disable it).
