Disabling screensaver on KDE 4 doesn't work

VLC doesn't disable the screensaver on KDE 4.

Tested on: VLC 0.9.9a KDE 4.2.2 Kubuntu 9.04

I had a look at the source code (modules/misc/screensaver.c). VLC only uses xscreensaver-command and the org.gnome.ScreenSaver DBUS interface. Both don't have an effect on KDE 4.

The attached patch fixes this by additionally calling the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver DBUS interface.
