After considering this further, I don't see what Notify OSD could
reasonably change here.
The relative amount of screen taken up by screensavers and notifications
is not relevant. What is relevant is that we don't want non-urgent
notification bubbles appearing in front of videos or other things that
you should not be interrupted from. That is exactly the same reason as
applications inhibit the screensaver. Therefore, we listen for the same
signal.
Unfortunately, Totem inhibits the screensaver by default when music is
playing. This does not seem to make sense. Jeremy Nickurak has it right:
the screensaver should inhibit only when Totem is playing a full-screen
video -- not a windowed video, and certainly not music. So it is Totem
that needs fixing here, not Notify OSD.
