I discovered that while playing, xine-ui generates keypresses of shift_l and control_l in order to stop screensavers and DPMS from starting. That's not acceptable to me when I simultaneously am (for instance) browsing the web with Konqueror and the keyboard navigation keys start popping up every 10 seconds. This should definitely be configurable behavior, but isn't. Therefore I have patched it out of my copy of xine-ui. Feel free to use the patch if it seems useful. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 132456 [details, diff] xine-ui-fake-key.patch This patch just rips out the code responsible. It's already been placed in an ifdef that depends on the Xtest extension being available, it's the only place that ifdef is used so I think I can say it's 100% safe.

This is not a Gentoo bug. Have you submitted this upstream?
(In reply to comment #3) > This is not a Gentoo bug. Have you submitted this upstream? No. This looks like intended behavior.
Indeed it's intended behaviour so it won't be patched out on gentoo. Please file a feature request for xine-ui at http://bugs.xine-project.org/ for an option to disable this behaviour if you care.
