Well, the xscreensaver faq recommends:
"""
If you are the author of DVD-playing software:

* Here's how you can prevent xscreensaver from kicking in while a movie is 
playing: once a minute have a timer go off. In that timer, do something like 
this:

   if (playing && !paused) {
     system ("xscreensaver-command -deactivate >&- 2>&- &");
   }
Though it would be better to code this using fork() and execvp() instead of 
system().

* The reason to do this with a timer (instead of turning the screensaver off 
and then on again in some other way) is so that if your program crashes, 
you're guarenteed that the screensaver will not be left in a permanently 
disabled state.

* If you think this is ``too inefficient,'' you're mistaken. (You haven't 
actually timed it, have you? I didn't think so.)
