Bug Description

I'd be great if caffiene could also support xautolock. It should be fairly straightforward to script. Presuming that xautolock is already running, you can disable it with `xautolock -disable` and enable with `xautolock -enable`.

This bug can be closed, unless others want support for xautolock. I wouldn't use the new version of caffeine, since it cannot trigger inhibition of suspending based on specific running processes.

This should be implemented in xdg-screensaver, not in Caffeine. Feel free to file a bug against xdg-utils: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?component=xdg-utils&list_id=511294&product=Portland&resolution=---

(Note that Caffeine 2.8 will give you a command you can use in wrapper scripts for applications that you want to suspend screensaving whilst running: this is more efficient and reliable than the old process detection.)

Changed in caffeine:
