How to stop screensaver from running (not deactivate)

I am trying to stop the screen saver from running based on a external trigger
from our application.

I have a .Net application and I am using interop to make a
SystemParameter Info() call to determine if the screensaver is running and
that works OK, but I do not see a way to force it to stop running. I tried to
deactivate and reactivate it but that does not force it to quit. I do not
want to disable it all together. I really just want a way to stop the
screensaver from running and reset the timer to start counting again from 0.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone, does anyone know a way to stop the screensaver under linux from starting up while a certain process is running? I need this because I experience a memory leak while recording wav-files every time the screensaver starts. It is a Tkinter application, btw. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. ...
