This month I've been using xlogo as a workaround for the fact that VLC is failing to inhibit my laptop's screensaver, so that if I connect to a TV to show a video, there's a risk of it blanking part way through. $ while xlogo -geometry 2000x1000; do sleep 240; done Now every 4 minutes a huge xlogo pops up (and my WM placement algorithm reliably puts it on the built-in monitor, because the other one is full of VLC). So I use the mouse to dismiss it, and that _does_ inhibit the screensaver. (One of these days I'll get round to actually _debugging_ the screensaver situation, but that's a faff, because every time you try something you have to wait 5 minutes to find out if it worked.)
