The following dbus calls seem to no longer work (e.g. screensaver is not deactivated or timeout reset):
$ dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver / org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity
$ dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity

(two different object paths, since it looks like object path has changed to /, at least according to d-feet dbus debugger).

Also, "xdg-screensaver suspend <wid>" does not seem to work either. It uses the second call above to keep screensaver from activating.

gnome-screensaver 3.6.0-0ubuntu2.1, Ubuntu 12.10.

Does the SimulateUserActivity work for anyone else ? I cannot figure out what's wrong.
