Ideally it's the power management interface you use to inhibit a
screen so this should be agreed upon instead. Screensaver is just one
of possible implementation details of the power saving mechanism. And
a pretty but useless one as it tends to actually drain more power ;)

It should be up to the power manager to suspend the proper screensaver
then (possibly including hacks or workarounds for xscreensaver that is
not likely to get upstream support for DBus).
