Look at
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2006-April/042520.html

IMHO the proper way is to use some Xserver or X11 extension to signal
that an app doesn't want screensaver or DPMS activation.
Xserver should notice these requests and properly cooperate with
registered xscreensaver program. Mentioned patch uses DBUS and is gnome
specific.

So mouse movements hack can work at once and forcing X-org people to
implement properly working extension and of course Gnome and KDE people
to use it is the future.
