Public bug reported: In line 420 /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver checks for the value of KDE_SESSION_VERSION. If it is 4, it uses the dbus methods, otherwise, thinking it is kde 3, it uses dcop. Unfortunately now KDE_SESSION_VERSION is 5 and xdg-screensaver falls back to dcop (which doesn't exists anymore):
$ xdg-screensaver suspend 0x2600007 /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: 652: /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver: dcop: not found Changing it to check for 5 instead of 4 at least it appears to work (barring bug #310351) Note that the rest of xdg-utils also check KDE_SESSION_VERSION, so they will probably fail too, but I didn't try them.
