Because we are trying to go DE agnostic, And are using whatever xubuntu 
uses, I would choose (3).

Further, I am starting to find screensavers/blankers on the painful side 
as I start to use control surfaces more often. The new (since 14.04) 
presentation mode switch, is wonderful.

With MIDI or OSC controllers (Via network) there is no way for X to know 
the user is actively using the system.
