Have you actually tested that small diff to guint64? I'm reluctant to commit it since I don't have an amd64 box to verify that it really works.

Patch for incorrect type on amd64 Edit (418 bytes, text/plain)

I hit this bug myself (amd64 here, too).

The patch proposed by Daniel Marynicz does not seem correct to me, because
ENABLE_X86_64 is not defined [1], so the guint64 part does not get compiled.

The correct check is whether ARCH_X86_64 is defined. You can grep the mplayer's
source and you will see that they either check for it (ARCH_X86_64, that is) or for
__x86_64__ which is automatically defined by gcc when compiling on amd64.

I am attaching a patch to gnome_screensaver.c that fixes the issue.

Has this been reported upstream?

Ooops, forgot the [1]

[1] I tested whether it's defined - it's not.
