Part of the xdg-utils suite by freedesktop.org is the tool
xdg-screensaver. It provides a unified interface to control, especially
prevent, screen blanking. It comes with support for KDE, Gnome and Xfce.
It should be relatively simple to add support for FSO as well, and I
always had that in mind as a proper, FSO independent solution for
mokomaze. I just did not yet come around to do it. If someone else wants
to give it a shot, that would be great.

Greetings,
Joachim
