[MPlayer-users] mplayer and -stop-xscreensaver

[Francois du Toit]

Well, after further investigation, it seems that mplayer does not stop the
xscreensaver process. I don't know what it does, but it works, just takes a
long time to start playing.

When I manualy stop xscreensaver it does it in no time at all
(xscreensaver-command -exit)
