(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kcmscreensaver Version: 2.0 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: Mandrake Linux Vitamin Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.8-26mdk OS/Compiler notes: When I try to change my screen saver settings in KDE Control Center I hit apply but the settings don't take effect. I know this because when I restart KDE Control the settings are the same as before. I don't know if this is a Control Center problem or specifically a screen saver config problem. I've also noticed that occasionally the applied settings stick but more often than not they don't. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
I have noticed the same as to settings that don't always stick. In my case, using KDE 3.0.3 in Mandrake Linux 9.0 (iso image install), and with one particular module: the Login Manager in KDE Control Center. Specifically, it does keep the changes to who can halt and reboot the machine on the console ( Sessions tag) and which users to display (Users tag) but it doesn't last for more than two or three logout-login processes. Then it is automatically reset to the preset values. jeanackle@mail.pt
Jean: It's quite possible that msec is messing with those settings.
this has worked for me in CVS HEAD for quite some time now. No need to keep it around. :)
