Supposedly Hulu Desktop already uses the xdg-screensaver command.  From the
Hulu Desktop README:

SCREENSAVER ISSUES
  Currently, xdg-screensaver [suspend,resume] is being used to control the
  screensaver when video is being played back in full screen (not in menu
mode).

  For some users with screensavers that don't work with xdg-screensaver, you
  can specify commands for Hulu Desktop to run instead it wants to
suspend/resume
  the screensaver during playback.  They exist under [screensaver] in
~/.huludesktop
