Comment 6 for bug 139770

OK, some more info:

- my "mythtv" user is logged-in automatically from GDM.
- this mythtv user is different from my normal user
- gnome-screensaver is started within the mythtv user session
- gnome-screensaver is NOT started within my normal user session
- the screensaver comes on when watching a video from within Mythvideo (driving mplayer)
- the screensaver comes on when watching Live TV
- the screensaver comes on when watching recorded TV
- as X is not monitoring the remote's event device, using the remote does nothing, I have to use the keyboard to restore the picture
- the screensaver does not come on or the screen does not blank once I have killed the gnome-screensaver process from a remote terminal session
- now that I have a proper mythfrontend log (many thanks!), I can see no mention of gnome-screensaver support anywhere

I am using Gutsy, an install from a Tribe CD in July,following the ubuntu wiki instructions, kept up-to-date everyday. It has all the mythbuntu branding.

As my setup was using the apparently old style mythtv user, it is difficult for me to su and run the preferences manually.

I hope this helps clarifying my current experience.
