My experience with kubuntu 8.10 is almost the inverse. The screensaver kicks in even if I have used the scrool wheel a second ago. I have to press a key or move the mouse to stop it.

There is the same bug in Ubuntu Karmic (Gnome)

That would indicate that the problem is somewhere at a lower level (X?) moving bug to xscreensaver for now, since it is the closest part that both the KDE and GNOME screensaver implementations share.

affects: kdeartwork (Ubuntu) → xscreensaver (Ubuntu)

I think this is the issue linked to in bug #381116 (I can not find the main report now). gnome-screensaver does not use the xscreensaver engine by the way.
