[SDL] Full screen mode disabling screensaver?

[Bill Kendrick]

Someone recently contacted me about Tux Paint with this problem:

  I'm running Tuxpaint 0.9.15b on Ubuntu 6.06.  It is
  running in full screen mode.  After the kids quit
  playing  with Tuxpaint (and leave it running) my
  screensaver fails to activate.  I looked in the
  configuration file but see no mention of any settings
  there.

Sounds like SDL is disabling screensaver while in fullscreen mode.
Is that by design?  Any way around that?  Any reason to avoid turning on
the screensaver?

(Maybe I should add a simple screensaver to Tux Paint itself after
an extended amount of inactivity...?)
