As an after thought, I had a quick look around on vlc's site, I found out there's a feature in vlc to disable the screensaver while playing video. Preferences > Video, check the "Advanced options" box and uncheck the "Disable screensaver" option. Everything works fine now. It's actually a pretty nice feature, if you're watching a movie and not wondering why your screensaver isn't working. So the answer is...its not a bug, its a feature :-)
