However many video players, games etc. still fail to do that. They often
blame SDL to be responsible for disabling the screensaver.
I've been resorting to killing gnome-screensaver, so an inhibit tool
would still be nice.
Also not always you're doing presentations with a dedicated presentation
software. For example, Firefox-based presentation tools have become a
Hype... do you want firefox to inhibit the screensaver?
