            Bug ID: 88028
           Summary: Give xdg-screensaver the ability to report the current
                    timeout
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rrt at sc3d.org

This would be useful for programs that want to manage the screensaver, to
minimise polling. For example, Caffeine inhibits the screensaver if a window is
full-screen. It currently checks every 30 seconds (a reasonable minimum), but
if the screensaver timeout were known, it could check that often minus a few
seconds and save CPU time and power.
