In that case, I'd say we just use it and forget about Gnome's
screensaver - it's up to gnome devs to fix it. I looked at
bugs.gnome.org and apparently they know about the problem for years -
the only way to talk to the Gnome screensaver is over DBus. And the
right (and simple) solution would be for gnome-screensaver to check
X11's idle time (reset by XResetScreenSaver) and not ignore it as it
does right now.
