No one has asked this, so I will. Do you perchance have kscreensaver
installed? If you have installed any KDE components such as K3B or
Kstars you will also have installed other KDE core components to provide
the supporting libraries. I have heard that kscreensaver can be
installed with them. A vexing problem, I know, lets hope you can solve it.
