How do I stop the screen from turning off in Gnome 3.2?

In the “screen” settings, there is the option that lets you set when you want the screen to turn off.

The highest possible setting is one hour.

Often movies are longer than one hour so when I start a movie and one hour comes (about half way through), screen has to be re-activated by wiggling the mouse or whatever.

How do I make it so that the screen “never” turns off?

I’m using openSUSE 12.1 (gnome 3.2.1).

Thanks! I’m sure there is something simple I am missing…

If you run

gnome-session-properties

I think you can uncheck screensaver form loading

Hi
You can install the application called caffiene;
http://software.opensuse.org/package/caffeine?search_term=caffeine

It’s in the GNOME:Apps repository.
