Hi, Well in regards to the screensaver issue I thought that already where a solution, but it could be its GNOME specific atm. In GNOME 2.14 Totem for instance is able to tell gnome-screensaver to not activate using dbus. No idea if any other screensaver package listens to dbus for such messages, but that should be an easy fix I assume.
