At least KDE should be more intelligent about this, and unredirect when an application tries to display video (maybe it could detect that an Xv or VDPAU or GL context is active or something like that.)

One of the big issues I have in general is when watching a flash video, the screensaver will kick in (or the way it's set up now, instant screen blanking). This leads me to set a large time out for the screensaver (or power management whichever comes first), such as 30 minutes or more. Because I don't want to go bump the mouse or hit ctrl every 5 minutes.
So if the screen saver/power management could be disabled when watching full screen flash, that would be a good thing. Imagine your screen turning black or the "fiber lamp" screensaver showing up every 5 minutes when you watching some hour long thing in mplayer or vlc..
I'm wasting tons of power because of this (heavyweight CRT monitor rated at over 200 watts) and this impoverishes me.
And it's needed to reduce pollution and carbon which I why I liberally bring that issue.
I don't know what happen with full screen html5 video (I've never watched a hour long one yet)
