What happens if you run "dcop kdesktop"? You should get a list of the
available DCOP functions. Is anything included that looks like it is
screensaver-related?

If you try to run the following command
/usr/bin/kdesktop_lock --forcelock
are there any errors?
Which version of the "kdesktop" package is installed on your system?
You could try to purge kdesktop and reinstall it. You will probably need
"dpkg --force-depends -P kdesktop" to remove it. Then you can run
"apt-get install kdesktop" to get clean versions of all config files.
(Of course you can also use aptitude to reinstall or run "dpkg -i" with
the newest kdesktop<...>.deb package in /var/cache/apt/archives/.)
