When i check case Disable screensaver in preference option, this change nothing with kde screensaver. Screensaver is runned normally and this is verry boring. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run smplayer 2.open and play a vidéo 3.Wait screensaver start

This is a problem of the screensaver you're using. The disable screensaver option that mplayer uses (smplayer is just a gui frontend for it) follows the proper X API. There are however many screensavers that do not. In those cases you should be able to use mplayer's heartbeat-cmd option (see man 1 mplayer). In the case of KDE4, it is recommended to add the following line to ~/.mplayer/config (as 1 line): heartbeat-cmd="qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity" See also http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/movietime-stop-powersaving-to-watch-a-movie/
