Preventing gnome-power-manager from turning monitor off

[Artyom Smirnov]

Hi.

I'm using mplayer in GNOME and for preventing starting screensaver
using 'gnome-screensaver-command -p' (actually in ~/.mplayer/config:
heartbeat-cmd="gnome-screensaver-command -p"). All ok with
screensaver, but g-p-m ignoring this poking and puts display to sleep
after some time. This is normal behaviour? If yes, how can I prevent
monitor from sleeping?

Thanks.

Poking the screensaver seems to be broken. The function has been
replaced with a FIXME.

There's an open bug about this if you want to track progress:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579430

Also, note that the dbus-send command in that Debian bug is wrong, it's
SimulateUserActivity not Poke.
