Bug Description

Screensaver starts while playing HTML5 video.

Midori version : 0.4.3-1 (debian wheezy)

FWIW, same discussion concerning firefox :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/434476
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517870

It talks about sending fake keystrokes on a regular basis, or disabling the screensaver while playing (which could be an issue if midori crashes).

This could either use gtk_application_inhibit or XScreenSaver API. Having Midori crash shouldn't be problematic with those APIs but I haven't looked into it.

Question here is, if it shouldn't solved in WebKitGTK+. Currently HTML5 video and fullscreen support are completely handled in WebKit.
