xscreensaver (XFCE) inhibit is broken after the latest dbus screen saver commits

Description

The latest dbus screen saver commits broke the Ubuntu 14.04 + xfce + xscreensaver combination and now the screen saver inhibit functionality doesn't work at all.

Also the lirc remote control broke down, but there seems to be another ticket for that.

commit 35564d70e71ee0fe3ccea7dfa53a1ffa21117057 Author: Stuart Auchterlonie <stuarta@…> Date: Thu Mar 19 21:07:47 2015 +0000

Initial version of dbus based screensaver

My previous & working client version was 2864a79b78335e899e00e49d5b76e4f7d13f0f13, just before the dbus screen saver support was added.

I'm currently away from the host in question, but I can provide logs later on in the evening (ie. after 8h) if necessary.

This (the xscreensaver part) should be relatively easy to fix. The existing code used both dpms controls as well as xscreensaver. I didn't plumb that back in, so I see what I can do here.

In b1c3c35a99fbd3498a01dc06888801b553604927/mythtv:

Separate the ScreenSaver? base class from the ScreenSaverController?.

This is a preliminary step to allow multiple screen saver control
methods to be utilized at the same time.

In 8ea5911f066fe406deeddb8ba92b629be4f47cd1/mythtv:

Re-Enable screensaver-x11 after the dbus screensaver support was added.

This now utilizes the dbus screensaver first, and then the previously
existing screensaver methods. This should resolve the issues seen by
those using only DPMS or xscreensaver.
