If you use KDE screensavers tick the box marked 'make aware of power
managment'. When xine (I sure other player as well) plays a movie it
disables DPMS and now it disables your sceensaver well !!

I use MPlayer as my chosen video application and KDE as my desktop
environment, one gripe I had was with my screensaver starting up in
the middle of a movie but I never really did anything about it.
Today I had my first glimpse at DCOP and was surprised at it
simplicity. It took all of 5 minutes to make a wrapper script [1] for
mplayer to disable and re-enable the KDE screen saver automatically
using DCOP.
Feel free to pick apart the script, tell me there was a much easier
way of doing this or use it for yourself.
Note that I don't use xscreensaver so this is not taken into account.
