libmythui/screensaver-x11.cpp:

if (m_timeoutInterval == -1)
        {
            m_timeoutInterval = GetMythDB()->GetNumSettingOnHost(
                "xscreensaverInterval", GetMythDB()->GetHostName(), 50) *
1000;
        }

        if (m_timeoutInterval > 0)
            StartTimer();

I don't seem to have 'xscreensaverInterval' in my settings table.

I grepped my working copy of .22 and I don't see it mentioned anywhere else.

The reason I'm asking is - I've put 'xset s 60 60' in my .xsessionrc file
and somehow it's getting changed to 0 which is making my screensaver not
happen when I'm paused.

I added a call to EnableScreensaver to the NuppelVideoPlayer::Pause method
but since 'xset q' shows it's back at 0 it does me no good. When I manually
'xset s 60 60' again however, it starts working as expected.

Do any of you know what gives?
