that's a bit silly when there is an actual real x extension protocol for
exactly this purpose. the only thing that might be better is a window hint and
let the wm control it - then it can change policy based on the state of the
window (visible or not, fullscreen or not, on current desktop or not - maybe
only affect no-blank on that particular screen (though not possible in x11with
dpms etc. - just the blacking out of the screen) etc.)
