Comment 2 for bug 505789

I can confirm this behavior with blueproximity, OO and gnome-screensaver.

Running the following batch script in a terminal window, then giving focus to OO Writer clearly shows that the problem is gnome-screensaver-command, not blueproximity:

#!/bin/bash
for (( ; ; ))
do
   gnome-screensaver-command -p
   sleep 5
done

To me it looks like gnome-screensaver-command --poke just sends the Alt key on its own. In OO (as well as any Windows app) this opens the first menu item (or closes the menu if it happens to be open).

This behavior is really annoying since it basically makes OO unuseable when running blueproximity.
