Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

I installed Intrepid Ibex Alpha 4-amd64 and the screen saver won't start. The screen fades to black, but as soon as its fates the screen completely to black it pops right back to normal instead of starting the screen saver.

I've tried a few different screen saver options and it seems to be the same every time. I can preview the screen savers but they don't work on their own.

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.23.3-0ubuntu1

I stopped gnome-screensaver and restarted it with "gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug". This is the output from just before the screen faded until it came back to the desktop.
