Whenever KDE (I think) detects no mouse or keyboard activity for a while, it dims my laptop screen, then turns it off. I don't want that when I'm watching a movie.
Is there a setting somewhere to disable this behaviour based on running applications?

Presuming you're using KDE4, you can try a command line call similar to the one's used here
From JanGerrit
Select allqdbus org.kde.powerdevil /modules/powerdevil setProfile <Profilename>
Replace with the name of a preconfigured profile you added (I think there's something like this called "Presentation" or something similar)
And or
From Gen2ly
Came across today that dbus has an inhibit command i can use. Not the same thing but looks like powerdevil doesn't have the ability to disable power management.
qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement \
org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit.Inhibit

Since KDE 4.5 (or 4.6), functions have changed. Now use
qdbus org.kde.kded /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement loadProfile <ProfileName>

1So far I've tried
$ qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement Inhibit MPlayer muuu...it doesn't seem to have worked. It does look like I'm on the right path though. – György Andrasek – 2011-11-19T04:50:14.323
