[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Avoid resource lockup by xscreensaver

The attached patch changes the way xscreensaver is restarted. The
old way had a problem where xscreensaver inherited any open file
descriptors which mplayer had. This included the audio-device, so
/dev/dsp was locked for me after running mplayer (to unlock it I had to
kill xscreensaver).

The patch (which is against the current cvs version) closes all file
descriptors before launching xscreensaver.
