[MPlayer-users] mplayer prevents (wakes up?) DPMS timeouts; how to prevent?

FYI, as of an SVN commit yesterday, the "-nostop-xscreensaver" option
works again, and so:

mplayer -nostop-xscreensaver

(or setting "stop-xscreensaver = no" in ~/.mplayer/config) will prevent
mplayer from disabling DPMS timeouts in X11.
