IIUC, you intend to change the XResetScreensaver() implementation in in
the xserver to reset the IDLECOUNTER. If the XScreenSaverSuspend()
implementation would call XResetScreensaver() (which seems reasonable to
me), then mplayer would be unbroken instantly!

XScreenSaverSuspend() is a pretty widly used standard API from the XSS
extensions.
