MacOS X has such a blocking feature, as should Windows if i remember 
correctly.
Linux has no 'general' way of doing this, but there is a screensaver 
blocking interface that can do this for you.
You launch it next to your normal VLC interface by launching vlc as: 
vlc --extraintf screensaver

Actually many of us are users hacking away at VLC. It would help to 
have some more programmers, documentation writers, translaters etc.
So if you care to help out, you are always welcome.
