 I can't. The latest changes that are possibly related happened more than a 
year ago, so it's possible that maybe 3.5.5 or older don't work correctly, 
but code from the 3.5.8 tag works correctly with XResetScreenSaver() here as 
well.

 The testing code is here, just in case. Maybe you forgot to flush the X queue 
in your testapp? Here with a 1 minute screensaver timeout and 'sleep 
30; ./a.out' the screensaver kicks in only after 1:30 minutes.

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
    {
    Display* dpy = XOpenDisplay( NULL );
    XResetScreenSaver( dpy );
    XCloseDisplay( dpy );
    }
