Comment(by mythtv at meric.id.au):

 I tried a similar patch myself, and whilst it does resolve the issue of
 the screensaver remaining active during playback, it appears to break the
 original functionality of activating the screensaver for still frames.
 From what I can tell, the problem relates to stored frames - one of which
 triggers the still frame code, but the subsequent one then releases it.
 So, for the specific DVD that I'm testing again, with this patch I'd see
 the screen saver enabled then immediately disabled.  Unfortunately, I
 haven't been able to get my head around how the stored frame code works to
 figure out how to fix it.

 To be honest, I'm not sure that I agree with the still frame screen saver
 code anyway.  Personally, I'd like to see the screen saver enabled
 whenever menus were activated - these days, most DVD menus are not still
 frames, but video loops.
