It seem to me the problem may be hard coding of "XF86Screensaver" key
(which is volume up key on the Macally Icekey keyboard) in Gnome-
screensaver.
The problem has gone away for me since I disabled gnome-screensaver (from
memory couldn't remove it due to dependencies)
chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command
chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-preferences
And continued using Xscreensaver.
I can currently reassign the Volume up key to Volume up function,
without triggering the screensaver now. :)
xev tell me this about the Volume Up on Macally Icekey:
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
root 0x106, subw 0x0, time 15780915, (484,231), root:(489,361),
state 0x0, keycode 160 (keysym 0x1008ff2d, XF86ScreenSaver), same_screen
YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
