I like xidle, but it is missing support for something analogous to xscreensaver's -deactivate option.  I want certain applications (notably, video players and games) to not be interrupted by a screensaver, and I'd presume that many users have a similar requirement.

It has been a while since I've looked at xautolock, so I don't recall if it has that feature.
