Those ini entries probably shouldn't be added on Windows, or someone should implement the inhibit screensaver option for Windows.

In Frame.cpp in function MSWWindowProc we are disabling screensaver there for Windows.
There is also some code in EmuWindow.cpp for disabling screensaver as well I can only assume that that is for when drawing to main isn't enabled?
Would be trivial to add to Windows as well if needed.

currently the variable seems to be named inversely to how it's used.
Also, I'm not sure that the API we're calling is even the correct one. Perhaps some other call does not have this bug with nv+DP (like XScreenSaverSuspend). Dunno...

XScreenSaverSuspend only works if you are using the XScreenSaver to activate screensavers. Most desktop managers do not use that anymore. KDE and Gnome both have their own screensaver management programs. The point of the xdg-screensaver script is that it provides a way to manage screensavers for all linux screensaver managers. There isn't another alternative that even attempts for this at this point.
