gnome-screensaver --poke does use exactly this interface. The earlier mentioned dbus call does therefore exactly the same as using the Inhibit command, which is now suddenly deprecated without real communication with downstreams. It would be really great if an SRU could make the org.gnome.ScreenSaver interface again. A patch was proposed for this, but you defacto vetoed it because it supposely would make gnome-screensaver crash if the XSS extension is not available, correct? Did you have a chance to improve the patch so that we can include it in an SRU? > Use the org.gnome.SessionManager interface instead, and gnome- > session will clean up inhibitors if the registering application exits > without removing them (ie, if it crashes.
