Into a shell, I ran this command line:
----------
while [[ 1 ]]; do { sleep 19 ; date ; ps ax|grep gnome-screensaver|grep -v grep 
; } ; done
----------

After a few minutes (my screensaver should start after 1 minute),
was gnome-screensaver actually running and the screen was updated because:

- the content of the virtual console changed

- the shell displayed this kind of output:
-----------
