This is really irritating.  As a workaround, I've removed the gnome-
screensaver package, in the hope that'll prevent the screensaver ever
kicking in.

My problem is, I want to play full-screen OpenGL games, possibly for
longer than 1 hour at a time :)  I can't trust that the game will
inhibit the screen-saver, which is why I always disable it.  This is
apparently not possible in Oneiric, due to this bug.

Title:
  screensaver starts immediatly when on 'Never'

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello
  If the screensaver setting is on 'never' it starts immedialy.
  This makes impossible to let the system alone downloading files or nertworking for more than one hour (that is the maximum working setting).
  Reproduced on two fully updated systems.
  Thanks
