Since I posted this morning I have set all my screensaver and power settings to 'never', which did stop the problem then I went to ~/gconf.d and deleted the contents and rebooted.
The problem has not occurred now for 5 hours so perhaps is fixed (let's see) but I have no idea what the cause was. I am going to put my settings back to 15 minutes and see if anything changes.

This problem now seems to be NOT associated with gnome-screensaver or gnome-power!
I noticed last night that if my phone was close to the computer (i.e. in my poket) that the problem occurred and if the phone was some distance away (in the kitchen) that it did not. If I disable bluetooth on my phone (or on the pc) then the problem is gone! I now suspect that the problem is something to do with bluetooth affecting some setting on my computer so I am closing this bug.

Moving this to the bluetooth package as it appears that bluetooth is *somehow* interferring.

Just to add to WeatherGod's comment, I have got a bit further with it. I had installed a feature called BlueProximity which, when I looked at it, has some gnome-screen-commands as default actions. I'm still not sure why it was affecting my computer though because my phone is not paired to the computer.

Thanks for reporting this bug and supporting getting more information. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
