I would like a screen saver option that would allow you to set a 
command to be
run after some amount of idle(no keypress) time and then a script that 
is run with somebody press
a key.

The use i have in mind for this feature is turning my tv off and on. Be 
nice to have
almost tv integration.

PS: i would like todo it myself, but i've never used qt or c++, so 
adding event filters to the top level window means something to me but 
not enough to actual do it.
