I can confirm that this affects xscreensaver 5.15-2ubuntu1 in Xubuntu
12.04.5 with xfdesktop 4.8.3-2ubuntu7.
Personally I think it is a big shame that such things are disregarded,
as it can be understand form the link posted by Vernon Mauery:

The screensaver activates when I'm not idle!
I am still seeing this issue running Ubuntu 12.04. I am using the xfce
login (xscreensaver, not gnome-screensaver).
The strange thing is that moving the mouse wheel will deactivate the
screensaver after it has activated, but it does not seem to prevent the
screensaver from activating in the first
It looks like this will never get fixed...
Here is what the author of xscreensaver has to say about it:

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. I tried reproducing this bug using Feisty Fawn and moving the
mouse wheel prevented the screensaver from activating. Is this still an
issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is not clear what you expect from the mouse - moving the mouse should
not activate the screensaver. That would be the expected behavior. Could
you please re-state the problem, clearly saying what you expect to
happen, and what happens instead?
Also, does this problem still occur with an
I can't do any further testing because I am not running Kubuntu anymore,
but I can explain what happened as a series of steps:
1. Set the screensaver to start in a minute.
2. Do not touch keyboard or mouse for a minute
3. Screensaver activates.
That's good. But
