That is (another) valid complaint. But what do you expect us to do
about it? I dislike KDE intensely, and I'd be happy to dump it from
the archive completely, but I suspect others might not agree with this
plan. :)
You can, in the meantime, disable the KDE screensaver, and use
XScreensaver directly, and then you won't have this problem. But I
reiterate - what do you expect us to do? KDE's screensaver is broken
by design! And we have workarounds (don't use KDE, don't use KDE's
screensaver). What more do you want from us? Simply voicing
complaints about the situation does not move us forward.
