Interesting... I was wondering what they did. :)
I'll see what I can work in, but particularly allowing that
xdg-screensaver can take several seconds to run it's more suited to
being run at the start and end of a program session than "on the fly"
Needs a window ID. I think I can get that from a shell variable if
there's a shell, but not if started directly from the desktop: anybody
got any thoughts?
Health warning:

suggests following a handle in TForm to arrive at a window ID, but that
appears to depend on the combination of widget set and window manager:
as a particular example, it's unreliable with gtk2 on top of KDE.
Without delving into the raw X API, the only reliable way of doing this
appears to be to run xwininfo and parse the output. The window ID from
that is compatible with xdg-screensaver.
