Bug Description

Hi there,

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 on an Acer 4810T laptop with Intel graphics, the screensaver doesn't fade to black when fullscreen flash videos are running. When such videos are running non-fullscreen, or when doing anything else, the fade-to-black works as expected. The fade-to-black is extremely important and useful for me, since it alerts me that the screen is about to go to sleep and gives me a chance to move the mouse and wake it up.

Thanks.

This bug is still present on 15.04. Additionally, it isn't just fullscreen flash videos; full screen HTML5 videos in Firefox also go black with no fade.
