Hello,
as the title says, when smplayer is started, with at least a video in the play
list (even tho it's paused), it prevent GNOME (in this case with flashback
session) from shutting down the screen after the mount of time specified in

Settings > Power > Power Saving Options > Screen blank

(currently set to 3m).

I think this is an important regression from previous versions of smplayer,
hence the severity higher than normal.

Thanks,
Sandro
