Bug Description
when playing a video in smplayer in fullscreen in kubuntu 12.10 while on battery the screen dimms after a timeout. I think powersaving features like this should be disabled while fullscreen video playback. I am pretty sure that in kubuntu 12.04 fullscreen _did_ inhibit the screen dimming.
kubuntu 12.10 64bit
upgraded from 12.04
smplayer 0.8.0-1
EDIT: originally i experienced this for smplayer, now i tested with mplayer and there is the same problem
