The screensaver interface looks good. What is the use case for the
"Poke" method?
I guess it can be used by apps like video players to prevent the
screensaver to fire while showing the movie.
It is possible but not ideal. A better way is to keep a DBUS connection
open and use Inhibit method. The application (eg. video player) gets a
cookie to use with a later call to UnInhibit. This cookie allows
inhibit requests to be reference counted and provides a modicum of
security. When the DBUS connection is dropped all inhibitors on that
connection are removed.
