Hi,
i just installed ubuntu of my girlfriend's pc, because i try to convince her to use it (she has xp...).
The problem is that pc go to sleep while she is watching fullscreen flash videos.

I remember that i had this problem a long time ago on ubuntu (on my pc) and i think this is more than a "low" issue.
After a search on internet, i didn't found any other fix than running a command or clicking on an applet to inhibit the screensaver EACH TIME i want to see a fullscreen video.

I don't want to be rude but ubuntu want to be a perfect linux desktop and this bug is really annoying for non-geek people.
Ubuntu has to be capable on running fullscreen videos / flash videos without disturbing the user. I mean, it need to be automatic because the argument "On windows, i can watch my videos quietly" is stronger than anything else.

BTW, her pc is running an up-to-date maverick. Do i need to report something ?
