confirm here on feisty with gnome-screensaver 2.17.4-0ubuntu1

I tried to run:
kill `pidof gnome-screensaver`;gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug > ~/Desktop/screensaver_debug.log
But infortunately, has I had to switch to virtual console and killall gnome-scrennsaver, the logs were empty.

by the way, this is
/usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver-dialog --enable-switch
which locks on 'checking' but killing only this process will respawn it. Therefore we need to kill gnome-screensaver.

Hope this helps
