Screensaver mode deactivation
 
I'm running Fedora 14 and set the screensaver (in System>Preferences on the Gnome GUI) to activate after the computer is idle for 30 minutes. After the screensaver is activated, and a press a key or the mouse, the screen is back to normal -- no problem.

After the screensaver has been activated once, however, it comes back on very quickly -- usually in 2 or 3 minutes if the computer is idle. The only way I have found to correct this (and set activation back at 30 minutes again) is to log out and back in again.

How can I correct this, and automatically set screensaver activation back at 30 minutes each time the normal screen is reactivated?

Did you double check your power management settings? I remember I had a certain glitch way back when I had the screensaver set for a lower value than something within power settings.
