It is no problem to get the status with dbus in kde

$qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver GetActive

I am sure it is possible in XFCE too.

The problem would be to get this status with root (same problem we hade before we started using the client). The client could provide the info in a file or via a dbus call to timekpr. But a user could make a small script to fake this info and the counter would not run.
