Bug#903537: cinnamon-screensaver: screensaver is never activated at all

[Norbert Preining <norbert@preining.info>]

Package: cinnamon-screensaver
Version: 3.6.1-2
Severity: important

Hi all,

even after checking the n-th time that the settings tell me that the
screensaver will be activated after 10min and the screen locked, it
does never ever happen. No activity in screensaver respect whatsoever.

Is this a known issue?

Best

Norbert
