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.
