Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I have two screens with Xinerama and Nvidia drivers. In the startup everything works normally but later the gnome-screensaver does not stay on as described under.
The gnome-screensaver starts normally but when the screen goes back, it comes suddenly back to the normal state. Even tough I don't need the screen saver. I need the energy saving mode for my screens which needs the gnome-screensaver to mark session as idle.
If it's even possible. I would send a log from the operation but I don't know how to take one.

NOTE: If you are using Compiz-Fusion Go to General Preferences in Compiz Settings Manager, and under the General Tab, uncheck "Undirect Fullscreen Windows"
This should solve your problem if you are running Compiz-Fusion

Well this is weird. After I put "xdg-screensaver activate" on the commandline the screensaver started acting normally. I stays on now. Don't know what the problem was and does this fix hold longer.
