I am using DOSBox for very old DOS-programs. In KDE everything works
fine (OpenSuse 11.2 or 11.3). On 11.3 I tested the LXDE desktop and the
screensaver activates every 5 minutes when I am working inside of the
DOSBox window. Other Linux distributions and/or desktops had the same
type of problems (related to the SDL-library?) years ago - and solved

Other distributions might not use xscreensaver, does this happen
with gnome-screensaver on openSUSE as well? You can try to
install it without dragging in too many dependencies.

them. Is there a way to get rid of this problem without deactivating the
screensaver completely?

As a workaround you could also inhibit xscreensaver by starting
your application like this:
dosbox & while kill -0 $!; do xscreensaver-command -deactivate; sleep 1; done
/dev/null 2>&1
