Sorry for being ambigous, by "screen saver idle" I meant screen saver
not active. The re-writes occur quite regularly around every half an
hour. The screen saver settings were not changed since the system was
started so this is not the case. I'll try to reproduce in Lucid when I
install it.

Follow up (sorry for the spam): I can't reproduce any random rewrite either
while idling (with screen saver inactive) or during normal use. The apparently
random rewrite is because gnome waits quite some time to write the file after
changing the setting.
Obs. For "inactive" I don't mean "disable
boga: what do you mean by "idle"?
Testing on Lucid, I caught such random rewrite only once while the screensaver
was not active. While the screensaver is active, there was no rewrite, after
more then 30min (screensaver timeout was set to 1min).

Yes, it is reproducible. Just start "inotifywait -r -m /home/ | grep screen"
and wait for 10 minutes or so. I get something like:
/home/xxx/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/ CREATE %gconf.xml.new
/home/xxx/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/ OPEN %gconf.xml.new
/home/xxx/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/ MOD
