I think that's what we're talking about, actually...without this patch, 
the Mac OS X and X11 video targets will forcibly disable the 
screensaver, windowed or not.

In most cases, that's desirable behaviour for a game, even in a window, 
but for something like TuxPaint that's actually more of an application 
than a game, it's not.

Also, I haven't touched the Windows code yet (and would appreciate a 
patch from someone else so I don't have to.  :)  ).

In the meantime, I'm committing the existing patch. Bill, grab the 
latest branches/SDL-1.2 from Subversion and let me know if it works for you.
