13.10? You're on a kde list, and kde is only up to 4.12.x. Where'd the 13.10 come from (opensuse or kubuntu, maybe?, they use year-based versions, which that appears to be), and shouldn't you be posting to that list if you're using that version number? Seriously, a dbus call to org.FreeDesktop.ScreenSaver might happen to work on a kde desktop (or not, thus this thread), but it's not org.kde... , which should be a hint that perhaps either your distro lists/ forums or the freedesktop.org lists/forums might be more appropriate. (I'd try the distro first.) Tho if you're lucky, someone here will have a more useful answer than mine, too. I'm just trying to point you at hopefully somewhere where you'll be more likely to get better answers, faster, since this doesn't appear to be directly a kde issue. (FWIW, I'd /guess/ that your distro tightened up its security around dbus, so users can't so easily interfere with each other now, and that's what blocked you. Someone with enough knowledge of the distro and its dbus policies should therefore be able to tell you what bit of configuration to adjust where, to get that call to work, or help you find some other solution that will work as an alternative, one or the other. But that's more likely to be distro side than here, unless someone with that knowledge just happens to be on-list here as well.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
