[mythtv-users] screensaver for mythfrontend

Some ideas:

Execute "xset s off" every time playback starts and "xset s on" when in
menus or paused?

The only issue is that the screen saver does not seem to wake up from IR, so
something might need to be hacked for it. Plus the first IR keypress will
get executed blindly which may lead to undesired selections. Maybe a "wake
up button" on the remote that is bound to screen saver via lircrc.
