@rrt, looking back at my last reply, I mistyped. What I meant to say is
that I'm sure it would not work (xdg-screensaver being used to inhibit
mate-screensaver because mate-screensaver does not support the xdg
spec). This is a known issue going back to 2014. One could argue that
the xdg team should accept it as a bug to support mate better or one
could say that mate should accept it as a bug to support the xdg spec
correctly. In either case, both teams seem happy with where they are at
and neither seem willing to move forward on this.

And now that I have 2.8.3 with jorgicio's patch (which works exactly
like you would expect under mate), I'm happy with what I have too.
Someone else can fight the good fight on getting these two teams to
figure out why it's not working.
