What about the patch described in comment #6 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26085#c6 )? It uses the same exact approach as was used for GNOME screensaver as accepted in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29860 , specifically using SimulateUserActivity, which is already part of xdg-screensaver and it does not require any other helper scripts.
