Yes, I understand that. If you want to reproduce, you could create a playlist with 30+ titles, run vlc on it, then switch titles into the playlist during one minute, and run ps aux, you will see many xdg-screensaver process. I don't understand why vlc spawns so much process, but honestly, I don't have the strength to fight with them to rewrite their playlist algorithm. All that I know is that from a user point of view, this is very annoying. And I do not consider myself as a simple user, but as a geek. So imagine what *real end users* may feel when this happens.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
