Wrong way of doing things. We used to have a galago plugin,
unfortunately it's not been developed in a long while.
What you'd want is:
1) a Totem plugin to set the gnome-session status
2) a Pidgin plugin to listen to the gnome-session status
That means that Totem could work with other instant messengers, and
Pidgin could work with other video players.
See this for 1):

in Python might help a bit.

If you really want to know, take a look at the screensaver plugin (even
though it's in C, the modus operandi would be the same).
