Just a note, since this thread happened to re-appear today.
Someone emailed me today to let me know that Tux Paint on their iMac
was preventing their system from going to sleep.  I'm assuming it's due
to the fact that SDL is disabling the screensaver, and that, in turn,
makes the Mac think it shouldn't sleep, either.

Just FYI.  Glad it's been patched.  Need to make sure we get the patch and
test it when building Tux Paint binaries, at least.
