    Totem is suppressing the start of the screensaver. Somehow this has and effect on some of the notifications.

    For audio files this behaviour can be disabled by setting the option "Allow the screensaver to activate even when audio-only is playing" ("Display" tab in the "Settings dialog)"

    This option is not available now... you can only select between disable screensaver for audio or audio+video

    Annoyingly my notify-OSD is disabled for the session even when Totem is closed again.
