That does indeed look suspiciously like XScreenSaver.  I seem to recall 
that being the default screensaver, but it has been many years since I 
used Gnome or Mate.  Some things you might try, if you haven't already:

- run xscreensaver-settings, check for any suspicious settings there
- check file ~/.xscreensaver (if exists)
- check file /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver
- check for a running xscreensaver daemon
---- if you find such a process maybe you can find out what is launching 
it with the command "ptree"
- if this is a single user machine and you never want locking, maybe 
just uninstall desktop/xscreensaver?
