Pelle, I tried
gnome-screensaver-command --poke during playback. It does not help. I am not 100% sure about xdg-screensaver and VLC. But I tried to discuss it at VLC forum http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=94579 . I have Mageia installed on same laptop. VLC works fine there in same configuration. The differences between Mageia and Debian installations are: -VLC is 1.1.11 in Mageia and 1.1.3 in Debian. Not a big difference I think. -Command xdg-screensaver status returns "enabled" in Debian vs "disabled" in Mageia in freshly booted system. You see, there is high probability that xdg-screensaver is actually used by VLC and it is xdg-screensaver to cause the issue. Now the question: why is it enabled in Debian and disabled in Mageia? I have not found a way to disable it in Debian for a more equal test.
