gconf and screensaver

[Mark McKnight]

Using Gnome 2.14

I want the screensaver set to 10mins when using the computer and off when watching Mythtv.

I was going to use two $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/%gconf.xml files. One  with  SS  turned on and the other with it off and then use a script to switch back and forth. I would run it when launching mythfrontend and again when shutting it down to get the desired screensaver settings.

However, that seems a silly way of doing it.

There must be a better way.

Can anyone tell me what it is?

Thanks, Mark
