Set caffeine as ON on default?

Is there a way to set caffeine to disable screensaver by default (at login/startup)? I can't find a settings file anywhere.

Re: Set caffeine as ON on default?

This sounds like an XY problem.  Why do you think caffeine is relevant?  Can you disable xscreensaver (assuming that's the screen save you're referring to) - absolutely, just don't run xscreensaver.

When *do* you want xscreensaver to run?  Only when manually triggered?  If so, configure xscreensaver for that, not caffeine.  If never, then uninstall xscreensaver.

Re: Set caffeine as ON on default?

I use caffeine together with an indicater extension in gnome to change the screensaver behaviour whenever I need, e.g. displaying something I need while working on another computer. I'm quite satisfied with that, but everytime I login the indicator is set to OFF (screensaver is allowed), which I'd like to change if possible.
