Public bug report changed:

Description changed to:
Minor mouse movement (tram passing by, walking around) stops gnome-
screensaver.
With an optical mouse on an uneven surface, it is sometimes
difficult to click an icon to throttle gnome-screensaver 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 movement events
- Add a cli command to immidiatly go to the deepest DPMS sleep, only waking from keyboard input
Tested on gnome-screensaver and Dapper Flight.
Same problem with xscreensaver #34854.
