This may be the same bug or a related one, as there are quite a few bugs being listed regarding Compiz + screensaver + games, full screen or otherwise. The bugs I've seen under all Ubuntu distributions are:
1) Compiz + screensaver + games = Screensaver snaps the game out of full screen mode because it thinks the PC is idle (ignores mouse and keyboard input). Disabling Compiz or the screensaver is a workaround. Disabling Workarounds in Compiz makes no difference. 2) Compiz + full screen games @ desktop resolution = Upon launching the game it repeatedly switches between windowed mode and full screen mode. Disabling Compiz or running games at a different screen resolution than the desktop is a workaround. Disabling Workarounds in Compiz makes no difference. I've tested bug 1 with LTris among other games, and bug 2 with OpenArena and Nexuiz (among others). Bug 1 may have something to do with Compiz having some interaction with the screensaver or input devices (mouse and keyboard), meaning either or both could be at fault. Bug 2 sounds like it's strictly an issue with Compiz. These bugs occur across multiple motherboards, GPU's and Ubuntu distributions.
