Same problem with Edgy Eft. The "disable screensaver" option in mplayer gui / misc menu doesn't work. Aftr wandering around the Net, it seems that mplayer disables xscreensaver but doesn't know about gnome-screensaver AND gnome-power-manager.
Here is a limited solution : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=284804 Is there a patch for edgy in preparation?
