Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

If the screensaver is set to activate when computer is idle and idle
time is set, the screensaver activates even if the computer is very
active in the middle of a game, with key presses and mouse movement.

Whether this is because the game (Nexuiz) is in full screen mode, I
don't know but it locks up and is very slow to respond, maybe because
the screensaver is graphic based too.

Coming out of the password lock the system becomes very unresponsive,
black screen, sometime the cursor moves other times not. Even the Ctrl-
Alt-Backspace is unresponsive for a good 10-20 secs, eventually it does
reset itself back to login for a new session but obvious a nuisance.

My guess is the test for idle is failing somehow to see key press and
mouse movement within the full-screen game.
