Package: kscreensaver-xsavers
Version: 4:3.5.3-1
Severity: normal


I have wondered why my screen sometimes blanks after 5 minutes even 
though power management is set to 30 minutes. I found out that i had the 
5 minutes set up in the KDE screensaver-dialog, but that the screensaver
itself was disabled. Using "xset q" i found out that after changing 
that value to (lets say) 20 minutes the scrensaver values are correct:

Excerpt from 'xset q'
---------------------
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  0    cycle:  600
---------------------

(to change the value i had to activate the scrensaver, change the value, 
then deactivate it again)

If i now lock the screen of my computer with the KDE-lockicon in the 
taskbar the screensaver comes up (as configured and expected). But after 
unlocking the screen the screensaver somehow has read its timeout-value 
from the config-file, even though it is still disabled:

Excerpt from 'xset q'
---------------------
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  1210    cycle:  600
---------------------

The timeout-value in the X-Server will return to zero if you change the 
timeout in KDE as described above.

The workaround is obvious: set the timeout to a value that will not 
disturb you (like 240 minutes, your eyes would be squares by then ;-) 
but it irks me and may confuse people, hence i reported that little 
bug...
