Bug Description

On Xubuntu 12.04 (maybe earlier versions as well), pithos does not detect when xflock4 is active. xflock4 is not a screensaver per se, but a locker I would say.
Pithos keeps on playing even though the "Pause when screensaver is active" checkbox is checked in the settings.

Pithos 0.3.14

Occurs under xfce4 (4.10.0-1), uses xflock4 on Arch. Pithos 0.3.17-2.

Also does not pause once xscreensaver s runing (as triggered by xflock4).

It similarly doesn't detect when you activate the screensaver in KDE.

Digging into the code, in plugins/screensaver_pause.py it references the 'org.gnome.ScreenSaver' dbus entry. I changed that to 'org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver' and it now works properly in KDE.
