I agree that it would be nice to have preconfigured commands available for working with the KDE screen saver.

I would, however, make a slight change to the supplied lock command, and instead use the following:

    qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock

Specifying the interface which provides the method isn't necessary, and I think it looks cleaner without that.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a better way to unlock the screen. Running the above qdbus command without the final argument to specify the method will give a list of supported methods, and none of them appears to work properly. The SetActive method looked promising, and it even partially works, but it only makes the desktop visible without unlocking or hiding screen saver widgets.

But, the list of methods does include one that I'd like to see included in the list of preconfigured proximity commands:

    qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity

Thanks,
Aaron
