Running MPlayer on a GNOME desktop is pointless, at least conceptually. GNOME has Totem as its media player, and I'm sure it'll turn off the GNOME screensaver just fine. Perhaps if you want to build a video network with machines with multiple video cards, thin clients and TCP streams, you shouldn't be using GNOME... Incidentally, are you against DRI as well? Lourens
