Kubuntu 14.10: Screen doesn't blank out when it's suppose to

[msmigiel]

I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 14.10 from Kubuntu 14.04 and I'm finding that my laptop screen no longer turns off after 5 minutes as I had it configured. In System Settings -> Energy Savings, I have "Screen Energy Savings" set to turn off after 5 minutes and it's been this way for a while. I most often use KDE but I also have fwm and xscreensaver installed. It seems that after the upgrade, only xscreensaver is used and not KDE's native power saving features.

This came from the question below and I was told to log a bug:

Please let me know what else I can provide to help - I'm relatively new to Linux so I'm not sure how to fully debug things.
