I was thinking about writing new patch based on code from
gnome-screensaver-command, which would send "SimulateUserActivity" every
30 seconds. But there is a problem with it, gnome-screensaver gets stuck
in "inhibit" mode and won't activate again.

try to execute:
$ gnome-screensaver-command --poke
and check whether or not the screensaver activates after specified time
of inactivity.

Does anyone know how "inhibit" message is supposed to work ? Because I'm
quite sure it isn't what gnome-screensaver-command --inhibit does.
