Here's another dumb suggestion - I think the screensaver operates on a
per-user basis

It does. Largely because it has to ...

I haven't tried this, but you could wrap xine (or whatever) in a shell script:

   #!/bin/sh
    xset s off
    xine
    xset s on

I'm not sure if the graphical screensavers are triggered from the X screensaver. However, with the gnome screensaver (aka xscreensaver) you can replace the "xset" lines with "xscreensaver command -exit" and "xscreensaver &". I don't know how to disable the screensaver under KDE.

However, I don't believe that any of this is necessary for xine in "fullscreen" mode -- I do know that it's not necessary for gqview in fullscreen mode, although I've not investigated why (it strikes me it could be because the big window is probably an overrideredirect window to keep the window manager from reparenting it).
