Hello,

I have the same problem.
If you are using KDE 4.4 you can use the following script to simulate user 
activity. IMHO it's a good workaround.

----
#!/bin/bash
# start applications
$* &

# simulate user activity every 30s while applications running
while jobs | grep -q Running
do
qdbus org.kde.krunner /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity
sleep 30
done
----
save it as "simulateUserActivity.sh"
call it:
./simulateUserActivity.sh kaffeine

kind regards,

Sebastian
