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
