Version: 3.5.8 (using 3.5.8-1.fc6 Fedora, Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)) Compiler: Target: i386-redhat-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.2-42.fc6 when no application is running, the screen saver does not work. when any (kde and non-kde) application is running the screen saver works. funny :-)
after some system upgrades all seam to work just fine. i have no clue what solved it. it relates to debian 4 & kde 3.5.8 and not fedora 6 as i reported.
Bug closed. Kdesktop is no more mantained.
