Title:
  Minor mouse movement stops screensaver

Status in GNOME Screensaver:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Minor mouse movement (tram passing by, walking around) stops
  xscreensaver.

  With an optical mouse on an uneven surface, it is sometimes difficult
  to click an icon to "xscreensaver-command -throttle" without
  immidiately stoping screensaver again. Disabling screensaver is very
  annoying if sleeping or doing non-computer work near a desktop
  computer.

  Suggestions:
  - Add option to ignore mouse events
  - Add a cli command to immidiatly go to the deepest DPMS sleep, only waking from keyboard input

  Maybe some of these should be done in gnome-screensaver, if that's the
  future default.
