Thanks Axon, that was it! Wrapper around movie player could enable/disable energy saving via qrexec-client - anyone is free to decide on this.

Set your desired "Screen Energy Saving" timeout in minutes. Note: Watching a movie, even in fullscreen mode, will not affect this timeout, since dom0 doesn't "know" about that type of activity. This is arguably a security feature, since if an AppVM were able to delay the timeout by starting a movie, an adversary could exploit this in conjunction with physical access to obtain your machine in an unlocked state.
