This is the functionality you want:

> man xscreensaver-command

-deactivate
               This tells xscreensaver to pretend that  there  has  just  been
               user  activity.   This  means that if the screensaver is active
               (the screen is blanked),  then  this  command  will  cause  the
               screen  to  un-blank  as  if  there  had been keyboard or mouse
               activity.  If the screen is locked, then  the  password  dialog
               will  pop  up  first,  as usual.  If the screen is not blanked,
               then this simulated user activity will re-start  the  countdown
               (so, issuing the -deactivate command periodically is one way to
               prevent the screen from blanking.)

Title:
  Inhibition of xscreensaver with XScreenSaverSuspend fail

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xscreensaver

  I'm trying to stop xscreensaver using XScreenSaverSuspend, but it doesn't seems to work.
  I writed a test case to test the behavior, and it confirmed the problem. (see tect.c attached)
  XScreenSaverSuspend is used at least in mplayer and gnome-mplayer to stop the screensaver when a video is played.
