Bug Description

When I start Caffeine, it doesn't seem to accept a click on "Disable Screensaver" - nothing is happening seemingly. If I start caffine in the shell I get:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.9:/org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject: No such object path '/org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver'
Traceback (most recent call last):

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject: No such object path '/org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver'

How can I get this fixed and caffine working again?

Thank you!
