Another option.  From the 'man xscreensaver-command' output.

-----------------------------
  -deactivate
This tells xscreensaver to pretend that there has just been user activity. This means that if the screensaver is active (the screen is blanked), then this command will cause the screen to un-blank as if there had been keyboard or mouse activity. If the screen is locked, then the password dialog will pop up first, as usual. If the screen is not blanked, then this simulated user activity will re-start the countdown (so, issuing the -deactivate command periodically is one way to prevent the screen from blanking.)
-----------------------------

But then I don't know if this applies to kde-screensaver and gnome-screensaver too, even though they are forks of xscreensaver.
