Description Eldon Ziegler 2007-08-03 14:09:48 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The screensaver activates even though I'm working in a program such as gedit, firefox. Only moving the mouse over the desktop keeps the screensaver from activating.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit
2. Work away
3. 


Actual results:
Screensaver activates

Expected results:
Screensaver doesn't activate

Does this happen every time?
yes
