Hi,
I have been observing for weeks that the screensaver + sleep display feature in XFCE was not triggering. And I just noticed that after I closed all firefox windows, it triggers again.
My hypothesis is that firefox, which has several opened tabs with youtube windows, is blocking the screensaver. Notice that they are videos not running currently: they are all finished or paused in mid play for continuing at another time. Yet they seem to inhibit the screensaver.
Yes, same happens under KDE. A video player loaded in firefox (or seamonkey) inhibits the screen lock, screensaver etc., even if the video is not running or not in the open tab.
Today it has worked, but I left active a workspace that had no firefox on it. Now I am going to use another workspace where there are firefoxes windows, although none of the tabs with videos have got the focus yet (so they are unloaded). ... That one worked. Next is the same workspace, but this time I loaded one of the tabs with youtube and left it out of focus. ... Also worked. Now same tab has the focus. ... Also worked. I'm confused. Hibernate for the night. Next, will try after a youtube tab has been playing for a while. ... It is working. I don't know what exactly triggers it to not work. Maybe the last update? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
