Well, I can confirm that it does not work here in Gnome.
However, my current version of mplayer also does not have it working,
but looking at google it seems it will be fixed in a future version
using D-Bus (
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5371
). I don't have time right now to add this to A5 though, and not sure if
using D-Bus in A5 is a good idea.
Anyway, maybe someone can test it with KDE? If it doesn't work there as
well, XResetScreenSaver() certainly seems worthless.
