Odd. It seems to work now on my VM. I've attached the log, but it does
clearly indicate that it disables the built-in screen-saver after about
10 minutes. xset q confirms that the timeout on the X-Org screen-saver
was set to zero. I've restarted the machine with Gnome-screensaver
running in Daemon
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

Not confirming the issue here. gnome-screensaver disables the built-in
Xorg screensaver, and that works perfectly ok here. The most likely
cause for it to now work is that gnome-screensaver isn't running. What
is the output of ps aux | grep gnome-screensaver?

In reply to Chris's request, here is the process listing for gnome-
screensaver (excluding grep locating the process command itself).

I ran this in my VM as had already done some pruning of my Eee PC's

gnome-screensaver is known to not work on Xubuntu, because it needs
gnome-session. gnome-screensaver has been replaced in favour of
xscreensaver on Xubuntu in Lucid for this reason. Anyhow, please kill
the existing gnome-screensaver process and then run gnome-screensaver
