Bug#480902: teeworlds - turn off the screensaver!

I had the same symptom: teeworlds crashes, often with some kind of
X error message but not always the same one.
I found that preventing gnome-screensaver from activating solved
the problem. Yes I'm sending keyboard and mouse input but I guess
teeworlds intercepts all input before the screensaver idle
detector; mplayer in full screen mode also hides kb/mouse input
from gnome-screensaver.
I use a script similar to the following:
while true; do
if pgrep teeworlds &>/dev/null; then
gnome-screensaver-command -p
fi
sleep 60
done
(mine also checks for other programs for poking gnome-screensaver)
Teeworlds could automatically inhibit any screensaver(s) while
it's running.
