xscreensaver shall not start while totem is showing movies

Hi, I am still looking for a solution, how I could make xscreensaver not to start while I am looking dvd movies. I have set up totem to allways run in front of other apps, but xscreensaver starts on top. Idea?

Happy X-Mas.

hm.. when i watch dvd's with mplayer i don't have any problems with xscreensaver.
and yes.. i know.. mplayer and dvds together are not a good solution.. but it works.

#!/bin/sh
xscreensaver-command -exit ; totem ; xscreensaver

this should work
but it is untested

works fine.. but perhaps you could make it like this:

#!/bin/sh
xscreensaver-command -exit ; totem ; xscreensaver&
