Setting idle-delay does disable the screensaver, but at the expense of
having my session no longer marked idle at all. So for example,
configuring logind to suspend or shutdown an idle computer is no longer
effective. IMO this conflates two different things: whether or not the
session is marked idle, and whether or not the screensaver is activated
when that happens. But if that is indeed the intent of the design, feel
free to reject this; and my apologies for wasting your time.

Bug description:
  GNOME Screensaver allowed me to disable screen blanking while still
  having the desktop marked idle if I don't touch it for some time.
  Unity allows the "idle-activation-enabled" key for schema
  compatibility but does not use it at all; the UI for disabling screen
  blanking implicitly disables marking the system idle altogether (this
  was true in GNOME too).

  I don't have a patch ready right now but will work on one.
