:0.0 is the display, not the window.  "xwininfo -tree -root" will list all
the window ids on that display.

  xdg-screensaver suspend `xwininfo -name xlogo | awk '/Window id/ {print $4}'`

But if LinuxCNC is calling it directly, it knows its own window ids already and
doesn't have to use xwininfo to find them.
