Public bug report changed:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37139

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.
