I'm not sure what you mean by "public interface", but xdg-screensaver
calls a DBus method on org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver that GNOME
implements. Though I'm not sure why you want to use some script/method
instead of turning off Settings->Privacy->Screen Lock->Automatic
Screen Lock ...
When I set Automatic Screen Lock to OFF,
-- "gnome lock" kicks in when xscreensaver is set to a 11 minute wait
-- xscreensaver kicks in when xscreensaver is set to a 1 minute wait
so there seems to persist a race between xscreensaver and the gnome lock
screen.
I will file a bug report.
(Also if you do want to use a script, "gnome-session-inhibit
--inhibit-only" allows you to inhibit the screen saver without
specifying a command/window ID)
This works for me, and is not something I was previously aware of.
Thanks for that. To automate this, I could put this command into
.config/autostart .
Apparently, there are many different ways to approach the screen saver
(and probably all the gnome capabilities).
