Agreed.

The screensaver should be a responsibility of the window manager, which should 
also decide whether inhibition is active or not based on whether the window in 
question is shown or not. For example, a movie player application can set this 
X property on a window, but if the window is not visible, the screensaver 
should (maybe) not be inhibited.
