DESCRIPTION

COMMANDS
suspend WindowID

WindowID can be represented as either a decimal number or as a hexadecimal number consisting of the prefix 0x followed by one or
more hexadecimal digits.
The screensaver can be suspended in relation to multiple windows at the same time. In that case screensaver operation is only
restored once the screensaver has been resumed in relation to each of the windows
resume WindowID
Resume the screensaver and monitor power management after being suspended. WindowID must be the same X Window ID that was passed to
a previous call of xdg-screensaver suspend
activate

Rest of Xscreensaver choices are there.
I did click around in properties of it. (2 Replies)
