$ xdg-screensaver status disabled enabled This is not Schrodinger's quantum screensaver, so it should be one or the other. :-) In this case my system is configured to turn on the screen saver after several minutes. Environment: SUSE 10.0/Gnome 2.12.0
Test xdg-screensaver/t.01-screensave_status now covers this case.
Fixed for beta2
