I haven't checked the configuration but have confidence that it's obeying the timing correctly. The problem is that it doesn't care whether the keyboard and mouse have been used during that time. When the screen saver is running, any keyboard or mouse activity will restore the screen. Also when the screen saver isn't running, the focused window gets the input. But it's irritating to be in the middle of typing or mousing and suddenly lose a character or click because the screen saver kicked in and gobbled up the next event.
