xscreensaver is being pushed out from the default install for
gnome-screensaver unfortunately. (there are a few issues arise about
this.. namely configuring screensavers, and the lack of options that
gnome-screensaver provides!)

So, your session could verywell be dismissing xscreensaver in favour
of gnome-screensaver which you may not have set yet to actually kick
in when idle?

Perhaps, anyways. :)
