Not only does this make sense for a workstation, but also for TVs that
can suffer burn in.

It should be as simple as running `xset s on` or `xset s off` at the
right times.  I suspect the right times are right before playing
video, run `xset s off` and right after playing run `xset s on`.

If I could find the time, I bet I could code that in....
