Comment 74 for bug 428884

Fermulatur is absolutly right. Rémi, you are still trying to fix the right way, when Ubuntu should just through it's old gnome-screen-saver from Jaunty back at it's users. May the right fix come out in the next version, but if right now people are just formating with 9.04 for all the bugs found in 9.10. This is the worse Ubuntu version since I started using it (back in 7.xx).
If I only knew how install the old gnome-screen-saver back, I'd already have posted on my blog and tought hundreds of people on how to do it. VLC is much more used than any other media player, but this problem is with everything, not just VLC. Even full screen games are afected. I'm not even sure which is the "official" media player, but Totem also has the problem.
