(Get the code!)
okay, I've now done some tests and can perhaps explain your
observations. The binary installed in the mplayer package is actually
'gmplayer', sometimes called 'mplayer-gui'. It is actually widely
unmaintained and known to be buggy.
As for our screensaver patch. It seems to work only in these conditions:
- in mplayer windowed mode iff the pointer is inside the window
- in mplayer gui mode
It does *not* seem to work in the following conditions:
- in mplayer winowed mode if the pointer is outside the window
- in gmplayer in fullscreen
- in gmplayer in windowed mode
