I'll add that xdg-screensaver is an unmitigated piece of crap. It
reimplements the bugs that using D-Bus for inhibition is supposed to fix
(namely that if the app disappears, the screensaver shouldn't be left
inhibited).

You could add D-Bus support to xscreensaver without linking to a D-Bus
implementation. Look at the SDL2 code, it implements the same inhibition
mechanism that Firefox and VLC implement through a dlopen()'ed
libdbus.so.

However, I would recommend that you use a modern screensaver if you
expect modern features.
