I took the liberty of reopening this and reassigning it to gnome-
screensaver, since that's the default screensaver for 8.04, and same
exact problem affects it.  (For example, just having an optical mouse on
a lacquered birch table, seemingly without any movement, can cause
enough static to be registered as motion).

Looking briefly at gs-prefs.c and gs-watcher-x11.c in the source, there
doesn't seem to be any hysteresis detection or options to ignore cursor
movement completely.
