Description brainsail 2008-12-03 21:33:23 UTC 
Version:            (using 3.5.10, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-21-generic

When I leave the desktop untouched, the screensaver never starts. My settings are 'Start automatically' after 2 mins. It works only when I uncheck and re-check the checkbox 'Start automatically' in KDE Control Center and click 'Apply'. I have to repeat this after each new login to KDE.
This is not a duplicate of Bug 142852. Unlike there, gnome-settings-daemon is not running.
