okay, I am being radical, but can't you kill the process using shell 
function?

you could fetch the process using:

ps -aux | grep "ScreenSaverEngine"

first word will be process ID (pid)

then to a:

kill --KILL <pid>

This is radical, but if the process is dead then screen saver cannot be 
on display right!?
