If I understand right the screensaver raises the magnifier window only when it asks for the password? I tried here with xscreensaver and with gnome-screensaver (in the last the authentication mechanism isn't working) and anyone raise the magnifier window. I only have it raised when using the OverlayWindow, but this is a standard behavior, and when running OpenGL screensavers these interfere in the magnifier window.
