xscreensaver on Ubuntu 11.10 isn't disabled

[Jeffery To]

I'm using Caffeine 2.2 (bzr 402) on Ubuntu 11.10. Since GNOME 3 only blanks the screen on idle, I've uninstalled gnome-screensaver and installed xscreensaver (as described at http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html).

When my computer goes idle, xscreensaver is activated even if I've set Caffeine to disable the screensaver.

In my .xsession-errors, I see these lines:

(20 Oct 2011) 15:26:06 INFO: Attempting to detect screensaver/powersaving type... (0 dbus failures so far)
2011-10-20 15:26:06,264 [INFO] caffeinelogging(110): Attempting to detect screensaver/powersaving type... (0 dbus failures so far)

2011-10-20 15:26:06,380 [INFO] caffeinelogging(110): Caffeine is now preventing powersaving modes and screensaver activation (Gnome3)

So it looks like Caffeine has detected I'm using the GNOME 3 screensaver, even though I'm using xscreensaver.

This looks like the bug I just reported for Lubuntu 11.10, using caffeine 2.4.1. Caffeine for me is not working with any screensaver. If there is a fix, then it apparently is not working for all *buntus and all screensavers!.
