Summary: Libxine/fullscreen makes rsi-prevention software go berzerk

Initial Comment:
I use libxine with different frontends: gxine, xfmedia.
Also I use an RSI-prevention software called workpace
(www.workpace.com) which records keystrokes and mouse
movements and recommends computer breaks after some
period of using the computer. 

Whenever the xine frontend is in full screen mode,
workpace wants me to take a break continuously.
Apparently it thinks I'm using either the keyboard of
the mouse a lot, while in fact I'm not using them at
all. This does not happen in when the player is not in
full screen mode, it also doesn't happen with mplayer.

Workpace offers a 30 day trial download, precompiled
version, so maybe you can try for yourself? Contact me
for any more information you need please! 

Versions:
gxine-0.4.6 (official slackware package)
xine-lib-1.0.2 (official slackware package)
xfmedia 0.80 (xfce media player, front end for libxine,
compiled by myself)
workpace 3.05

Steps to reproduce:
* Install libxine,
* install gxine of xfmedia
* download workpace (www.workpace.com), extract and run
it; you will be asked several questions, my answers are
all "somewhere in the middle",
* play a movie in full screen mode and see workpace
enforcing a break
* play a movie not in full screen and see nothing happens
* play a movie using mplayer, full screen or not, and
see nothing happens.

I removed the definition of HAVE_XTESTEXTENSION and it
stopped the complaints as you expected! I'm not quite sure
what this means then, though :-) Is it a bug at all, is the
problem with gxine of xinelib or workpace? Anyway, thanks
for your time and keep up the good work!!

I have a suspicion as to the cause of this: the way in which
gxine overrides the screensaver. Perhaps this Workplace
software isn't coping with events generated via
XTestFakeKeyEvent?

Try rebuilding gxine: configure, edit include/config.h to
remove the definition of HAVE_XTESTEXTENSION and compile. If
I'm right about the cause, this will stop the complaints.
