Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

gnome-screensaver often comes on when I'm playing a game full screen with the joypad. This can be rather annoying as the screen slowly fades and you wonder what the heck's going on, then you realise and rush for your wireless mouse that's since gone to sleep, wake it back up and frantically move it around, all the while you're losing at whatever game you're playing...

I suggest that gnome-screensaver should either listen to /dev/input/js* or that it check if a window's full-screen and not turn on in those cases... Or that zsnes and xmame are modified to turn off the screensaver :)
