Please forgive my ignorance, but I thought this 'D-bus' messaging system
in Gnome was precisely supposed to serve that kind of purpose : let
programs pass/share messages to other programs ?

Can't Totem etc, just broadcast a message saying:

"hi, just in case there is a screensaver out there, I am currently
playing a movie, so please don't trigger the screen saver"
