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.
