Public bug reported: when playing a video in smplayer in fullscreen in kubuntu 12.10 while on battery the screen dimms after a timeout. I think powersaving features like this should be disabled while fullscreen video playback. I am pretty sure that in kubuntu 12.04 fullscreen _did_ inhibit the screen dimming.
