I am using mplayer SVN version from yesterday , xscreensaver 5.01

strace shows that mplayer stops in:

clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_PARENT_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
parent_tidptr=0xbfa66f08) = 29821
waitpid(29821,



PID 29821 is

salatiel 29821  0.0  0.1   3052  1476 pts/1    S+   07:28   0:00 sh -c
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled 2>/dev/null | sed
's/1/true/g' | grep true 2>/dev/null >/dev/null



any ideas ? [i do not use kde]
