Issue/Bug Description:
While playing videos, the screen will go blank after 5 mins.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

  1. Disable caffeine if enabled.
  2. Check if you have enabled "Blank Screen" and how many minutes in the Power section in settings.
    Play a video with totem and wait for the minutes to elapsed.

Expected behavior:
While playing a video, the blank screen or screen saver should be disabled.

Other Notes:
I have attached a screen shot of the power settings in gnome settings.
