SSS (Screen Saver Stopper)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
SSS (Screen Saver Stopper) is a tiny application which prevents the screen saver from starting as long as the SSS window is open. This is useful when you are watching a movie, viewing the progress of a program's compilation or performing any other task which the blanking of your screen by the screen saver can disrupt.
SSS works with both XScreenSaver and the KDE KScreenSaver (KDE's "screen corners action" option only supports KScreenSaver). It is much easier to use than opening the Control Center, disabling the screen saver from there, and re-enabling it once you're done. To temporarily disable the screensaver, simply open SSS by clicking on its icon. Close the SSS window when you want the screensaver to be re-enabled. It's that simple.

for instance : when Kaffeine start to read a movie, it may just have to run a comand, an when the movie end, run a second command.
Doesn't seem very hard to imlement !
Perhaps should we ask for it to be done ?

Error 1 when opening the popup.
Error in widget Form1:
Unknown function group: `Timer`
Error 2 when closing the popup.
Error in widget Form1:
DCOP return type bool is not yet implemented
Any help will be appreciated since I view a lot of DVDs on my machine and it will be a big help.
Cheers. John.

kmdr-executor --version
is. It should be at least 1.1development1 (or perhaps 1.1development2 if I missed something :) ). If your version is older, you should try upgrading KDE or downloading Kommander alone (from http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12865).

Maybe your app could act as a Kicker plugin so it doesn't obscure other windows or be "in the way" of any other windows?
Cheers, and keep up the good work! :)

Because of this annoyance I have disabled screensavers ;).
Your SSS utility gives a little more control on annoyance :). Thanks.
