Both of those Ubuntu patches have gone to the X mailing list, and have been reviewed by Adam Jackson; once Xserver starts seeing some commits again I expect them to be applied to master.
I think the changes in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612620#c27 , while they will fix the gnome-screensaver issue, are wrong. The SYNC extension defines a negative transition as triggered from a counter strictly *above* the threshold to ≤ the threshold, whereas the changes proposed will trigger from ≥ the threshold to < the threshold.
Gnome-screensaver is separately broken; they shouldn't be setting a positive & negative transition trigger with the same threshold. There's a patch on the upstream GNOME bug for that.
