Having this issue as well on 15.10.

Partial fix: After killing gnome-screensaver from a TTY, I've found that running:

    gnome-screensaver-command -a

activates the screen saver, but once unlocked, eliminates the screen-blanking problem that Tony Maro described.

Will also try "gnome-screensaver-command -d" instead of killing gnome-screensaver next time it happens to see if it works better.
