Fix repeated deactivation requests
Avoid queueing up deactivation requests while the screensaver is waking up.

I suffer this issue running CentOS 6.5 x86_64.
If you want the patch testing externally, could you allow access to the patch and I will happily test it.

Thank you for making the patch visible.
I compiled the patch into 'gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-28.el6.x86_64' on an affected CentOS 6.5 (with all updates). The patch applied and package built via mock with no issues.
Prior to package install I checked the bug was still active on my system. It was.
Post installation of the updated package, I activated the screensaver on multiple occasions through the day/evening and allowing it to be active for > 15 mins. The longest time period was an hour. Attempts to deactivate the screensaver using mouse movement were successful and never took longer than a couple of seconds. This is much better than the long waits previously.
The patch fixes the issue for me.
