Description of problem:
Multiple times over the past two days, xscreensaver has locked my screen while I'm in the middle of typing. I rebooted and the problem still happens. There's nothing interesting in ~/.xsession-errors or /var/log/Xorg.0.log, although I can attach them if required.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe I've been managing email in mutt running in sakura (a terminal emulator) when the screensaver kicked in. So I was not moving the mouse, and all key events were going to terminal+mutt.

I restarted xscreensaver with
   xscreensaver -verbose -no-capture-stderr -log ~/tmp/xscreensaver.log

I'll attach the logs the next time it kicks in.

I'm running Xfce desktop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xscreensaver-base-5.20-3.fc18.x86_64
xfce4-session-4.10.0-4.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
unknown

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in to Xfce desktop
2. spend some time in mutt w/o moving the mouse?

Actual results:
screensaver kicks in and locks screen even though the keyboard has not been idle

Expected results:
key events prevent screensaver from starting
