In our office the admins tend to be crazy. They configured the ScreenSaver activation
after 8 (!) minutes of no mouse movement.

After screen saver activation I have to re-logon and re-type my password. This is very inconvenient.

Unfortunately I cannot change the screen saver activation time because it is managed central by the server
and not adjustable on my workstation.

So I am thinking about writing a program which simulates mouse movements by a pixel each minute.

Is this possible somehow?

Only if the Admin has given you software installation rights.
You can always tie the mouse to one of those small windup toys and have it roam around the desk ... The sushi ones are cute.
