Maybe download the VLC Player source code, and see what they do to 
disable the screensaver while a video is playing. I know VLC works well 
in that context. I don't know of other X11 applications that temporarily 
disable the screensaver while working, but I am sure there must be some.

Sorry I can't be or more help.
