>Summary: Fullscreen not working again (wm & _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN)

Initial Comment:
Hi, I'm the lead developer for Puppy Linux.
For sometime we have used Gxine v0.4.6, which did have a
problem switching to full-screen -- we found that it had
to be done just before the video started to play, a bit
later and Gxine crashed.
Anyway, when we switched from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel, the
problem went away, totally gone. We were very pleased.

I have just compiled Gxine v0.5.7, and now it won't
switch to fullscreen. Get this message:

----------------
gtkvideo: can't poke gnome-screensaver: failed to execute
child process "/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command" (no
such file or directory)
-----------------

Right, Puppy does not have "gnome-screensaver-command"
nor do we want it. How can I compile Gxine to not require
this? I tried a couple of configure options to no avail.
Your help on this will be greatly appreciated, cos
right now it constitutes a serious bug.

I contacted the developer of JWM and this is his response:

JWM doesn't yet support _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN, but I'm
working on putting
it in now. It should be working by JWM v1.8rc2 (and
certainly by v1.8 final).
Unfortunately, I don't know how long before those will be
ready... hopefully
not too much longer.

Does Gxine v0.4.6 do it differently? -- it works using the
same window manager (JWM 1.7).

I just tested with Fvwm95, same bug. The video inside the
window gets bigger, but not the window.

I'm wondering, if 0.4.6 does it differently, maybe there could
be a configure option to choose the "old method" of going
fullscreen?

That message is harmless. However, guarding the "if
(!screensaver_is_running_dbus (priv))" block in
gtv_unblank_screen() (src/gtkvideo.c) with "#ifdef
GNOME_SCREENSAVER_COMMAND" seems like the right thing to do
here.

Not sure about the full-screen failure, although if your
window manager doesn't support _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN,
switching to full-screen mode will fail.
