 It seems that the problem is due to the fact I am using bash as shell!
 
 Using bash:
 
 $ xdg-screensaver status
 /usr/local/bin/xdg-screensaver: dcop: not found
 ERROR:  kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled returned ''
 $ echo $KDE_FULL_SESSION
 true
 $ echo $KDE_SESSION_VERSION
 4
 $ echo $SHELL
 /usr/local/bin/bash
 
 Then I switch to csh and it seems to work:
 
 $ csh
 % xdg-screensaver 
 xdg-screensaver - command line tool for controlling the screensaver
 
 Synopsis
 
 xdg-screensaver suspend WindowID
 [etc ...]
 
 The funniest thing is that, now that I ran csh _once_, xdg-screensaver
 also started working with bash. And it did not in the first place, as
 you can see from above. I logged out and in from KDE, and it is still
 working with bash.
 
 I am quite confused... I cannot reboot my PC now, but do you think
 it's worth trying?
 
 Maybe something was mis-configured from the past, and running
 xdg-screensaver from csh fixed it?
 
 Thank you for taking care of this!
