Alright -- doing the only sensible thing and forwarding this on to the devel
lists of those projects.
Guys -- it seems that both MPlayer and Xine use the shift key events to keep
the screen saver from kicking in, though as is mentioned below, pressing the
shift key 5 times in a row is an X-defined accessibility shortcut, so there's
a conflict...
Would it be possible to use another key, say control or something for the same
purposes in the media players?

The key gesture is defined by X, not be KDE, so we cannot change it
easily. By using the shift key, MPlayer and Xine are broken for every X
user that has these gestures activated. This includes GNOME users, so the
only sensible way is to fix the applications.
I am cc'ing kde-accessibility, as this is the proper list for
accessibility topics.
