Hi Matthias, which issue? The `gnome-screensaver-command --poke` fail or the screensaver problem mentioned in the 2 posts previous?

Me TV calls `gnome-screensaver-command --poke` [0] so if it is broken then Me TV will surely fail. Fortunately, the command is configurable and stored in GConf at /apps/me-tv/screensaver_poke_command. I would hope that there's a command line application out there that is able to actually inhibit the screensaver in karmic (maybe using dbus) and if so you should be able to simply update the value in GConf. A quick Googling gave me this results [1], but I haven't tested it yet.
