Hi Matthias, which issue?  The `gnome-screensaver-command --poke` fail
or the screensaver problem mentioned in the 2 posts previous?

Me TV calls `gnome-screensaver-command --poke` [0] so if it is broken
then Me TV will surely fail.  Fortunately, the command is configurable
and stored in GConf at /apps/me-tv/screensaver_poke_command.  I would
hope that there's a command line application out there that is able to
actually inhibit the screensaver in karmic (maybe using dbus) and if so
you should be able to simply update the value in GConf.  A quick
Googling gave me this results [1], but I haven't tested it yet.
