I've just rebooted in an effort to get the screen lock back, but its
still not working. I've even installed the screen lock applet for the
taskbar, but that doesn't work either. And I suspect that the
screensaver will not kick in either, so what has happened to kill it
off?

Could it be any of these please that were very recently installed from
an upgrade;-
 lockfile-progs 0.1.15 => 0.1.15+squeeze1
 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.13.0-6 => 2:2.13.0-7
    xsltproc 1.1.26-6 => 1.1.26-6+squeeze1

i'm just clutching at straws, brain storming and trying to fix it.

Thanks
Sharon.
