Hi 
I have a possible fix, but it is a pure LIRC fix, and perhaps this is not the 
right way to do it.
I have seen that the player will keep the screen on and disable the screensaver 
each time it moves to another track, so a similar way to do it might be the 
right way.
The Idea with the LIRC thing is to turn on the screen and deactivate the screen 
saver each time a key on the remote is touched. 
This is done through the irexec application that comes with LIRC.
It will read a .lircrc file that i have put in my home-dir.
It looks like:

___________________________
krist...@elisaone:~$ cat .lircrc
#this will turn off the screen saver and activate display on every remote cmd
begin
prog = irexec
button = *
config = /usr/bin/xset dpms force on; gnome-screensaver-command -d
end
________________________

The first will turn on the screen, the second will deactivate the screensaver
As seen I use the default gnome-screensaver so if another screensaver is used, 
like xscreensaver, another command must be applied.

I then start the irexec at gnome-startup by adding the following command
irexec -d /home/kristian/.lircrc
to System | Preferences | Sessions

It now works as expected, but I'm not sure if this is a hack or the way to do 
it with elisa. It is a lot of work for each remote-button-stroke

Best Regards
Kristian Lippert
