Binary package hint: tvtime

TVTime's method to inhibit the screensaver implicates with the systems' normal usage (random shift key presses that make the shift key get "stuck" for 60 seconds: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/588473).

There is a patch in Debian's bugzilla to "Use XScreenSaverExtension instead of typing text via XTest": http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458041.

This bug is very annoying and has serious implications in the systems' usability (often, the shift key gets stuck for more than 30 seconds that leads to unwanted permanent deletion of files, can't click links in browser without launching new windows, etc.)

tvtime 1.0.2 running on Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
