5) Move mouse out the TSCLIENT window and screensaver stops.

Always
I've encountered this bug on gutsy as well. In my case I am running the client full screen, but despite the fact that I'm using the keyboard and mouse, the screen saver will come on and lock the screen after 10 minutes. It only seems to do this once, however. Once I log back in it doesn't seem to come back.
