thanks for your helpful comments, Danjones. But I used to apply xdg-screensaver
to the root-window which is never closed although when logging out. I used:
xdg-screensaver suspend $(xwininfo -root | grep Window id | cut -d -f4)
and it worked wonderful till update to 12.10.

You received this
xdg-screensaver requires a windowid to suspend it. Once that window
disappears, gnome-screensaver automatically resumes.
I was having a problem with mplayer not inhibiting gnome-screensaver, so
I wrote this bash alias to inhibit it for mplayer:
alias
Another option I just discovered would be something like this:
while true; do dbus-send --session --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver
--type=method_call /org/gnome/ScreenSaver
org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity; sleep 30; done
30 should be slightly less than your screensaver timeout (in
xdg-screensaver suspend does not work anymore here since 12.10 --

Have you tried using xdg-screensaver to inhibit it?
