If I run xine or gmplayer in an X session and later kill the X server, I get a blank screen and have to reboot by logging in from another computer. I also get a blank screen sometimes when I leave the X server running and go away from the computer for a time. Logging in remotely shows that the X server is no longer running. The amount of idle time necessary for this to happen seems unpredictable, but I think the minimum is roughly 15 minutes. It is almost sure to happen if the computer is left idle more than a few hours. (ACPI also blanks the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity, but this is not the same phenomenon; any input event brings the display back.) It's not necessary to play any media with xine; starting it with no arguments and seeing the splash screen is enough to trigger the bug. But gmplayer must play a video to trigger the bug; the splash screen is not enough. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run xinit. 2.Run xine with no arguments. 3.Kill sawfish (which kills X). Actual Results: Screen is blank and unresponsive. Expected Results: Should return to virtual terminal from which X was started. glxgears does not trigger the bug. I'm using sawfish without any screensaver or desktop.
