Well, I've at least solved the first problem by implementing a timer similar to the one used by ScreenBlank in Sailfish.Media (see /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Media/ScreenBlank.qml for reference), and it seems to work properly. I wonder though, how are we developers supposed to know about these DBus services? Are they documented somewhere? I also suspect that the org.nemomobile.dbus import won't be allowed in Harbour, though I assume that it should be possible to just ship the module along with my application.
I'm still looking for a way to detect when the screen goes blank, i.e. when the device enters sleep mode. Any ideas?
