Bug Description
Movie Player 2.28.2, Ubuntu 9.10
The "Display" tab in Preferences has a checkbox: "Also disable the screensaver
when playing audio". It's not obvious what happens when the checkbox is
unchecked -- especially since there's nothing in the window for "Also" to be
harking back to.
A simple fix would be to change the checkbox to a pair of radio buttons:
Disable screensaver when playing: (*) Video ( ) Video or audio
This still would not explain why you would ever want to disable the screensaver
when playing audio too. It is explained in the help, but if there is room, it
might make sense to explain it in the interface as well:
Disable screensaver when playing:
( ) Video or audio
Use this if your display turns off speakers when the screensaver is on.
(*) Video only
