[just edited subject title -- this was originally referring to 0.9.2] When VLC is in a window (as opposed to full screen), and has focus, my volume/mute media buttons are rendered useless. This is particularly annoying, because the first thing I usually do upon opening a video is adjust the volume. ...
EDIT: Nevermind, I thought we were talking about media buttons (which perhaps we are, but to be sure, I started a thread to more accurately describe what's plaguing me)
I'm having exactly the same problem... Well, except that I've got the monitor set to turn off after 5 minutes rather than the screen saver set to turn on. But it's essentially the same function... Or lack thereof.
