If you know of a way to run an X11 application without using libx11, let me know. I'm not going to argue about this any further. I've explained how you can solve your problem: write a shell script that locks xscreensaver between "lid closed" and "cpu halted". If that shell script talks to dbus,

It is not my responsibility to secure Debian's laptop power management system. It is not my responsibility to integrate xscreensaver with Debian's laptop power management system. It is my responsibility to make *xscreensaver* as secure as it can be. It is my judgement that linking with addition
