I would have to agree, this is a useful advanced tool available on
other systems and should be kept.  It would be nice if every
application did a perfect job of telling the computer when it should
and should not go into screensaver mode, but unfortunately not all of
them do reliably.  Therefore, having a way for people to prevent the
screensaver from activating is a worthwhile tool in my opinion,
although not by default of course.
