Yup, just hit this bug myself while typing on the keyboard. I'm on
Debian Wheezy.
$ apt-cache policy xscreensaver
xscreensaver:
Installed: 5.15-3
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 045e:00db Microsoft Corp. Natural Ergonomic Keyboard
4000 V1.0
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 046d:c531 Logitech, Inc.
I've noticed this problem before while reading a lengthy web page and only
scrolling.
Both cases should inhibit the screensaver.
xinput detects scroll events (no need for moving the mouse) and of course,
keypresses on a keyboard.
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Natural® Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 id=11 [slave pointer
(2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Microsoft Natural® Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 id=10 [slave
