           Summary: Selecting screensaver causes extreme system slowdown
           Product: kcontrol
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcmscreensaver
        AssignedTo: mjones@powerup.com.au
        ReportedBy: paul@sprakes.co.uk


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 
OS:          Linux

Selecting most screensavers causes system to become unresponsive i.e. 100% CPU load, disk thrashing, slow mouse etc. Deselcting "use screensavers" makes system responsive again.
Installation of 3rd party screensaver (kfireworks) works fine. Also tried uninstalling screensavers (kdeartwork3.0.3 mdk 9.0) and reinstalling, with no effect.

Note: blank screen and banner seem to work fine.

System:
Mandrake 9.0
NVidia Geforce 4 ti 4200 (with official drivers)
256 Ram
AMD Athlon-xp 1800+
etc..

All other graphical/3d apps/games work OK.
