Same problem here. Try adding:

heartbeat-cmd="gnome-screensaver-command -p"

to ~/.mplayer/config

The answer is from here: http://smplayer.berlios.de/forums/viewtopic.php?id=329, second post.

tried setting this up; however after a few idle minutes, my screen still goes blank (I don't have or use screensavers) and then the session gets locked. My power settings are set not to put display to sleep or dim the display when idle. What gives?

P.S. I'm on a laptop. Could it be that the hardware setting demands that? (I think I had no problems with this some time ago)

You're NOT using any screensaver, screen locker or dpms but your screen gets locked ? I don't understand..

Sorry for being late. Well, I've switched to KDE and it seems as there are no problems here. At least for now. Thanks anyway
