Please don't use the org.gnome.ScreenSaver interface, as it has other issues (such as leaking inhibitors if a process exits without removing them). Use the org.gnome.SessionManager interface instead, and gnome-session will clean up inhibitors if the registering application exits without removing them (ie, if it crashes. This is currently an issue with Totem, which uses the problematic interface)
