Expected to happen:
I work away inside a VirtualBox image, leave my machine for 10 mins come back
and type away as normal.
What happened instead:
I come back to the VirtualBox image and the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I
escape out the VirtualBox machine, wait 5 seconds and the screen saver starts.

Gnome-screensaver setting: after 10 mins of idle keyboard and mouse the screen
saver will activate

2) Leave Ubuntu to idle for over 10 mins.
3) After 10 mins observe that the screensaver has not started.
4) Start typing text into any application within VirtualBox

.e.g. into gedit)
6) Press Right CTRL to escape out of the VirtualBox and wait 5 seconds.
7) Observe the screensaver starts instantly.
8) Move the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard to cancel the screensaver.
