FWIW, this seems to work to query screensaver status in KDE:
qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver
org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive
That can be combined with this wmctrl command:
wmctrl -d | awk '($2=="*"){print}' |awk '{for
(x=10;x<=NF;x++){printf("%s ",$x)}}'
to get the name of the active desktop, which can be used
to log what you were doing at any given time. I find this
very useful for logging hours if I name my desktops by
the projects I'm working on.
