Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
gnome-screensaver has recently started activating while I'm in the
middle of web browsing (while I'm actively using the mouse) and using
evolution  (while I'm actively using the keyboard or mouse). I think
I've seen it do it in nautilus, too.

It just did it again as I was typing this sentence. I'm not sure how to
debug this, but I'll write out my settings here for gnome-screensaver:

Screensaver: GLText
Set session as idle after: 5 minutes
Active screensaver when session is idle: Yes
Lock screen when screensaver is active: No.
