Filed Bug #494114 hoping it does get properly looked at. Unfortunately, I followed this bug throughout karmic dev cycle and at one point around end of August the screensaver was completely functional. Looks like I've had a different bug for some time now.
If your screen starts to fade at the correct idle timeout, but the screensaver is not shown, please do refer to my aforementioned bug.
