In SMPlayer there is an option to disable the screensaver, but it does not work.
The tick box is checked by default but still it doesn't work.
SMPlayer > Options> Preferences > General > Video > Disable Screensaver.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open SMPlayer
2. Load a Movie
3. Wait.... wait... SCREENSAVER.... (ruins the movie).
But vlc works fine in gnome 3.6 and xfce4.
If I use xfce with a edit in "~/.mplayer/config" as heartbeat-cmd="xscreensaver-command -deactivate > /dev/null" it works good.
But if I add heartbeat-cmd="gnome-screensaver-command -p &>/dev/null", It doesn't work in gnome 3.6.
It happens in Fedora 18 too.
Since I moved to mplayer version 35368-1, The screensaver enables for a 5 -10 seconds and disables.
Is there anything I could do to have a usual function back?
