I use this code:

-------------
 for _PID in $(pgrep -u $USER startkde) ; do
    _ID="$(cat /proc/$_PID/environ | tr '\0' '\n' |awk -
FDBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS= '/DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=/ {print $2}')"
    _DBUS_BUS_ADDRESS="$_ID $_DBUS_BUS_ADDRESS"
  done
---------------
In order to find DBUS sockets, and then

---------------
for _BUS_ID in $_DBUS_BUS_ADDRESS ; do
	DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$_BUS_ID dbus-send --type=method_call --
dest=org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock
done

---------------
in order to lock all my kde sessions.

I don't if this is better, with this methode, there is no need to "su" and 
you're immune to stalled sockets in /tmp/.X11-unix/.

HTP,
