screensaver stuff has been redone again, so I strongly suspect your
problem is resolved.  Please try 10.04 (beta 2 comes out next week).  If
there is still a problem, feel free to re-open this ticket.

** Changed in: mythplugins (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Fix Released

Bug description:
using mythbuntu 8.04.1 on X64 with all latest patches and running mythtv packages from the weekly builds repository, I notice that launching a game from mythgame and playing it with a joypad will cause the screensaver to kick in after the default screensaver timeout.

I suspect that the gnome-screensaver disable patch that mythbuntu includes needs to be enhanced to disable screensaver in all plugins that could exec an external program prior to exec, and then re-enable it when the program returns.
