Wait.

So we would then have three cases?

1) The focused app does nothing, after a while the screen turns off and
the app is frozen completely.

2) The focused app disables the screensaver, the screen stays on and
everything keeps running as long as the app stays focused.

3) The focused app does not disable the screensaver, but disables deep
sleep. The screen turns off after a while, but the app continues to run.

cheers,
Simon
