The best approach is to disable it by default with
an /etc/X11/xorg.conf(.d) file, since sometimes the option to disable
it, provided by the DE doesn't work.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
Depending on what Screensaver/PowerManager you are using add launchers
to enable and disable the Screensaver/PowerManager. It might require a
script to change settings and sometimes just something needs to be
killed or launched.
