Bug#922269: x11-utils: X do not triggers the screensaver

[Nicolas Évrard <nicoe@openhex.org>]

Package: x11-utils
Version: 7.7+4
Severity: normal

Hello,

I noticed that my screensaver is not triggered anymore after the
default timeout yet I can activate it through "xset s activate".

It tried the following:

nicoe@mirabelle:~% while true; do
echo `xssstate -i` `xssstate -t` `xssstate -s`
sleep 10
done

Here's the result:

7 29983 off
9941 20054 off
19959 10036 off
29978 17 off
39997 0 off
50016 0 off

What's strange is that the timeout reach zero but the state of the
screensaver stays on "off".

I am not sure the bug resides in this package to be honest but since
xset sets user preferences for X it might be related.
