Bug#541968: gnome-screensaver: --poke option has no effect

[Evgeny]

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.26.1-2
Severity: normal

"gnome-screensaver-command --poke"  does not prevent screensaver from running since upgrade to 2.26 version of gnome-screensaver. 
I checked the idle time with "xprintidle" command, and "--poke" does not reset it as it should (since "--poke" simulates user activity).

If I try  to poke with dbus-send command:

$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Poke

I am getting an error:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Poke" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.ScreenSaver" doesn't exist

Other commands, like "gnome-screensaver-command --lock" or
$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock
works just fine.
