Interesting... I was wondering what they did. :)
I'll see what I can work in, but particularly allowing that
xdg-screensaver can take several seconds to run it's more suited to
being run at the start and end of a program session than "on the fly"
Why not simply execute the command in a background thread. Your main
thread then continues pulling in data or whatever it does.
I've already got a thread moving data around, and I know that when
data's actively moving that the user isn't fiddling with keyboard or
mouse (odds are he's got his hands on a MIDI device). I can also assume
that he used the GUI shortly before data started arriving, so in
practice I can use a 30 secs foreground timer (which already looks for
and loads an updated backend .so) to fire an enable/disable command when
the rate of flow changes.
