Bug#436339: [vlc] xdg-screensaver fails and xprop became a zombie

[Francesco Muzio]

Package: vlc
Version: 1.1.11-2+b2

I have experienced this bug

I use KDE 4.6.5 on a debian testing and i have set the phosphor 
screensaver (a screensaver included in xscreensaver package)
But this bug happens also if I use the KDE's clock screensaver or the 
black screen.

Again, if I use this function to stop the screensaver
for each played movie, the command ps -A show me two new persistent record:

  6106 ?        00:00:00 xdg-screensaver
  6114 ?        00:00:00 xprop <defunct>

each time a new process of xdg-screensaver fails and xprop became a zombie

All this not happens with other player like xine
