D-Bus is a very important message system, but in many places (like the case of
gnome-screen-saver), it is abused, causing lot of problems and hidden runtime
dependencies.

Another trivial stuff was moved from gnome-screen-saver (and gpm also) to the
gnome session is the ability of inhibiting automatic DPMS activation on idle
(or automatic sleeps for gpm), so no way for a media player to prevent gnome
screen saver from switching off the screen if gnome session isn't running, this
definitely sucks, i think is time to have our own screen saver application.
