[Susan Cragin (susancragin)]

Mine crashed with identical warning message but I don't have screensaver activated.
Screen may have been dimming to save power on laptop.

[Kenny Meyer (knny-myer)]

I cannot reproduce this here on Ubuntu 10.04. I guess this is not a Timer Applet specific bug.

Marking this as invalid, as long as there are no new reports.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
