[Bug 451531] Re: xine no longer inhibits the screensaver

[Dominique Quatravaux]

I can confirm this behavior on the same xine-ui version.

This may or may not be related: the file /usr/share/doc/xine-
ui/changelog.Debian.gz mentions for this release

  * Change screensaver control code to use xdg-screensaver instead of
    faking keystrokes (Closes: #374644)

Unfortunately xdg-screensaver seems to rely on DCOP which on Karmic
doesn't seem all that useful to control the screensaver:

$ xdg-screensaver lock
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!
$ dcopserver
$ xdg-screensaver lock
call failed

I seem to remember that DCOP is deprecated in KDE in favor of DBus these
days, perhaps this might explain things?
