The API to disable power saving/screen locking must already exist - most video
players use it. The problem is that the API must be used by the application,
and you can't expect every game disable power saving. Also, in case if the
application crashes, chances are high that the power saving remains disabled.

I wonder if KIdleTime could instead listen for /dev/input/js* and
/dev/input/event* events as an indication of user input.
