Hello.
I love the new way to change the power managment setting for activites.
I've added activites: presentation (for lecture, and I use it for watching movies online- flash player, html5 video, and video through mplayer plugin for browsers)

And its great. Cause it dosnt turn off my screen while I am watching movies.
When I stoped watching I am going back to normal activity, and my screens turn off In few minutes, and when I close my lid it suspend :D

BUT UNFORTUNATELLY IT DOESNT WORK GREAT WITH SCREEN SAVER. When I have it activated it shows up in few minutes, and whenn I am watching movies, or making presentation it makes me crazy.

So I thing that screen saver option should be moved to the energy managment. Thanks to that I could manage it for my activites.
There is no need to chave chance to set diferent screensavers for diferent activites. But only choose to deactivate screensaver and even selecting time to activate per acitivites. And the rest of screen saver settings may be in display manager.

Please consider it, and give me Your feedback about that.

I think a better solution would be if the screensaver does not show when a video is showing, and that it could be aware of this. Or applications suppresing the screensaver.

Yes I know but it is not that easy I think.

Second possibility is to set permanently that the full screen application will block automatically energy and screen saveing. Because when we set something for full screen display (presentation, movie) we usually are away from computer.

I hope that kde developers will read it nad consider our requests.

there is nothing better that regular user feedback :D

I found a solution to this problem. I am translating from French to English from what I see on my screen so I may not use the exact translation.

Use the contextual menu on a window title and choose Window behaviour. Then choose Screen corners. For the right left corner choose "Prevent screen locking". Apply changes.

Now, you can put the mouse cursor in the lower right corner when you are listening a movie.

For Youtube to avoid the display of the controls, move the mouse cursor in the middle of the right side of the screen then quickly move the cursor down to the right corner.
