An update: Today my yum update downloaded a new version of KDE (3.5.5-0.2), so I thought this bug might \
be fixed. No, it isn't, and I was mistaken when I said that the bug is absent under root. I tracked the \
problem down to these lines in ~/.kde/share/config/kcmdisplayrc:

[DisplayEnergy]
displayEnergySaving=false
displayPowerOff=60
displayStandby=0
displaySuspend=30

  When a user account is first created, these lines are absent from kcmdisplayrc and the \
screensaver/session locking work properly. If Display Power Management is enabled, these lines are \
generated in kcmdisplayrc with displayEnergySaving set to true, and the screensaver/session locking \
continue to work properly. If the Display Power Management is then disabled, the lines are retained in \
kcmdisplayrc but displayEnergySaving is set to false - and this causes the screensaver to fail to start \
and the session to not be locked. All that happens is that the screen goes dark at the time the \
screensaver should start.

  Yours,

    Chris
