This doesn't change the behavior.

    NoOp> .gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver is your screen saver settings and is an
    NoOp> xml file which can be looked at/edited in the standard gedit text
    NoOp> editor. When you reinstall gnome-screensaver it will create a new

    NoOp> 'x-gnome-screensaver-x' file. 

No, it doesn't seem to have done that.


    NoOp> You can also try the 'gnome-screensaver-command' options, see:
    NoOp> <http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man1/gnome-screensaver-command.1.html>

    NoOp> Try inhibiting it first, then deactivate & then exit.

I'll try that later.
