If I remember right then gnome-screensaver isn’t a real screensaver anymore. In a sense like a separate program to run screensaver.

On Ubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. you prevent screen/computer suspension with dbus calls. At present almost all derivatives use different dbus calls. Maybe it will change in the future.

Original Caffeine (version 2.4) stopped working around when 12.10 came out. It was because dbus calls have changed then.

XScreenSaver is a separate program that must be detected. My version does that.
