Changes:
[ Chris Coulson ]
* debian/patches/08_gs_dialog_request_to_exit.patch:
- Updated to not register a handler for SIGTERM in the dialog. This
prevents the dialog from hanging on timeouts or authentication
failures (LP: #454959)
Changes:
* PulseAudio: higher priority than ALSA, LP: #402018
> Then I perfomed a new test: this time VLC worked fine and stopped the
> screensaver, without the gnome-screensaver package from the PPA!
>
> It appears the problem is fixed.
I cannot see how either change could be related to this.
