I can only tell you how I do it on 11.1 with KDE 3.5, but there the power management widget in the system tray (the icon is a U.S.-style two-prong electrical power plug) that allows you to define new themes. I added one that disables DPMS (display power management system). I select this theme when playing long Flash videos, e.g. (And then forget to turn it off afterward...) Better video players and other passively viewed graphics programs will change this for you, though if they crash then you're still left having to manually re-enable DPMS.
