Bug Description
Tremulous is a quake3 based game. Basically when i am playing, the screen will slowly start fading, causing me to die and get mad. It seems this is happening with lots of games. armagetron. and planetpenguin racer.

I have similar experience with some other games, like ManiaDrive, which are probably blocking all keyboard actions by self, so the screensaver daemon cannot catch them. My idea is to add some kind of an user-writable list of applications, in which gnome-screensaver could check, whether the are/aren't running.
This could be handy also for watching movies with xine/mplayer/totem etc.. Anyone can add that feature?
Thanks..
