It varies. From time to time I'm running something that doesn't inhibit screensaver mode. Right now I'm copying a bunch of files between two machines. I'm using gigolo on the Linux Mint machine to view files on the Xubuntu machine. These are long copies, so the Mint machine goes blank before the process is done. It's not a big deal to move the mouse and see if the process is still going on, but that's what I'd do this time. There are other times when I'm watching something with Firefox and the screen goes blank. Again, move the mouse and it's back, but this is more annoying.
