VLC - screensaver/DPMS activated while movie is playing

[Joel Oliver]

Binary package hint: vlc

Screensaver/DPMS (Monitor shuts off) while playing movie in Kubuntu 7.10 (KDE)

Steps to reproduce:

Open a movie with vlc. Open a second movie with vlc. Close the first movie. Doesn't matter if fullscreen or not. Yes I have disable screensaver checked by default in preferences. Works fine If you only open 1 movie.

Bug also shows up If the first movie completes and you open a second before closing the 1st movies 'box'

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
