I have seen this as well (on a SuSE 7.3 machine update with XFree86 4.2
and KDE 3.0.2, so it is not Debian specific). It seems to only happen
if kscreensaver attempts to start while I have VMware in full screen
mode on a different virutal console.
One of the symptoms of the problem is that a kdesktop_lock process is
running without the screensaver running. If I "killall kdesktop_lock",
the screensaver will start working again.
