I think something related to the X protocol (e.g. *no* DBUS) is much
more convenient, because one wants to disable the screen saver on a
particular display. Authorization and identification comes for free

done using the X protocol.

believe the screen saver should be suppressed. Examples: video player

So the next step is to take this list to the xdg list on freedesktop,
with a proposed solution for these problems, and possibly code to
implement them, when appropriate.
I do note that some of this list is the "nirvana" of unifying desktop
configuration stuff, but maybe the way to start is specifi
Hi,
Well in regards to the screensaver issue I thought that already where a
solution, but it could be its GNOME specific atm. In GNOME 2.14 Totem
for instance is able to tell gnome-screensaver to not activate using
dbus. No idea if any other screensaver package listens to dbus for such
messages, bu
