The -stop-screensaver option may not work. According to the mplayer
manpage, it's a problem of the screensavers:
-stop-xscreensaver (X11 only)
Turns off xscreensaver at startup and turns it on again on exit.
If your screensaver supports neither the XSS nor XResetScreen-
Saver API please use -heartbeat-cmd instead.
-heartbeat-cmd
Command that is executed every 30 seconds during playback via
system() - i.e. using the shell.
NOTE: MPlayer uses this command without any checking, it is your
responsibility to ensure it does not cause security problems
(e.g. make sure to use full paths if "." is in your path like on
Windows). It also only works when playing video (i.e. not with
-novideo but works with -vo null).
This can be "misused" to disable screensavers that do not sup-
port the proper X API (also see -stop-xscreensaver). If you
think this is too complicated, ask the author of the screensaver
program to support the proper X APIs.
IMO the ubuntu developers should try to fix the screensavers instead of
trying to "fix" mplayer.
