script to inhibit screen saver using freedesktop dbus service

SUMMARY
Not sure if it's the right component. But since upgrading to Plasma 6, applications that inhibit the screen saver / display power management have failed to do so. For example, playing a video in Chrome will not prevent the screen from turning off.

I also had a script I wrote a long time ago (attached) to prevent the display from turning off, and it does not seem to work with Plasma 6.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn off display auto-turn-off in settings
2. Run application that inhibits screen saver
3. Watch as screen still turns off

OBSERVED RESULT
Screen turns off after configured time.

EXPECTED RESULT
Screen does not turn off while application has inhibited the screen saver.
