Unfortunately, this has escaped regression and reared its ugly head again in Eoan:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 19.10
Release: 19.10
Codename: eoan

$ gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver --object-path /org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver --method org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive

Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: This method is not implemented

The same method invocation works with Gnome instead of freedesktop:

$ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.ScreenSaver --object-path /org/gnome/ScreenSaver --method org.gnome.ScreenSaver.GetActive
(false,)

According to d-feet "GetActive" exists in both interfaces of the corresponding object path with the same signature.
