What I expected to happen
When playing a movie with dragonplayer, I expected the screensaver not to kick in after some time and ask me for a password. However, when not watching a movie, I would like the screensaver to start after some time and locking the desktop (that's how I configured it in the screensaver configuration window).
What happened instead
While watching the movie, the screensaver started up and locked the screen.

Bug #312583:
[Kubuntu 8.10][KDE4.2.BETA2] Display locks automatic, when watching a movie ect
-> This bug is about the same subject, however, it has been marked as a duplicate of bug #321165 (Dragonplayer should inhibit suspension when playing a movie) that was marked with a "fix released". Reason given: "This bug was fixed in the package kdemultimedia - 4:4.2.1-0ubuntu1"
However, As of KDE 4.2.4 (installed via the ppa repositories) this is still an issue for me.
Bug #378510:
While playng a video dragon lets the system go in stand by mode
-> Related but this bug is not about the screensaver starting up but about the computer going into standby mode while watching a movie.
I can confirm this problem.
Dragonplayer still allows screensafer as in KDE 4.6.3 Kubuntu 11.04_64.
