Research direction
Reproduce on Linux Mint 21.3 with Cinnamon 6.0.4 using Steam/Proton and a USB Xbox 360 controller while the screensaver delay is enabled. Since the issue names no files or tests, trace how controller input is handled by the screensaver idle timer; done means controller activity prevents the screensaver from activating.
