Don't know about Qemu or kde, but ~$ man xscreensaver-command may help.

mplayer sometimes fails to restart xscreensaver on this box (with openbox window manager). The problem resolves when I invoke this script that I also use sometimes, so a full restart hasn't been necessary: xscreensaver-command -activate
sleep 7
xset -display :0.0 dpms force suspend
