There are already problems with the assumption (user idle=nothing important happens).

Namely I'm trying to watch a movie and screen goes black after 30 minutes (yes I know how to configure this, just an example).

That's an interesting example, because there is an API for movie-playing programs to disable the screensaver while they're playing.
