Looks like it is SDL related, because setting
SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1
fixes it.

I understand disabling the screensaver is the default in SDL so the screensaver won't activate while watching a movie or playing a game. http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=9#90

Since I don't think this behaviour is desirable for qemu, I guess it would be useful to prevent the disabling of the screensaver in code.
