Upstream replied that they fixed the warnings in totem, and that they "couldn't reproduce the problem, but I can see how the original warning might happen. Most likely, gnome-screensaver crashed, or was killed, and the gnome-session inhibition didn't notice. gnome-screensaver is supposed to proxy to
gnome-session, and it should be transparent to users."

Bastien finished by: "File a bug against gnome-screensaver if you still see the problem."

Now the question is whether we will still be affected now that a fix for the warnings has been committed in totem, or if gnome-screensaver is still problematic, or something.

Luis, could you help doing some additional testing on this? I'm not sure how to proceed myself.
