Public bug reported:

On most current Ubuntu 7.10 beta.
Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.20.0-0ubuntu4

Screensaver thinks that computer is idle when using only mouse.

When I go to
System > Preferences > Screensaver and set "regard the computer as idle after" 
to 1 minute,
after a minute without keyboard strokes, but only mouse movements, screensaver 
gets activated.

And what I just discovered while writing this:
when only typing (no mouse movements), after a minute screensaver starts to 
active (dimming the screen). After a another keystroke it apparently resets its 
idle timer.

So it seems that screensaver needs both mouse & keyboard activity?
