I'm really curious about this as I'd like to enable a screen saver on my
myth box. Is there maybe something that can be added to lirc's config to
tell it that if the screen saver is the foreground app it should "press a
key"?

Also, I'm curious, does pressing a key on the remote reset the inactivity
timeout? For example, if you had the screen saver set to go after 1 minute
of inactivity, would it instead go 1 minute after KDE loads up irregardless
of if you're using the remote or not?
