Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
I use Windows in VirtualBox and it works great except for one small issue with the screen saver. I have the screensaver activated and require password to get back to my system. When I am working on a virtual machine in VirtualBox and do not move the mouse for a long time, Ubuntu thinks that the computer is inactive and turns the screensaver on after a little while. However, the computer is not inactive - I am typing things in the virtual machine. I am using Virtual Box from Sun directly, not the open source version. I am not sure if this issue holds true for the OSE version also.
System info:
Ubuntu Hardy (with all updates as of 7th October 2008)
Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.0.2
Windows 2000 guest

Confirming for virtualbox-ose; I get the same behavior on a fairly basic Jaunty install. Also, the screen brightness will dim if I work solely inside Virtualbox for a while; surely, a symptom of the same problem.
