(Dapper) Gnome-screensaver and "lock-screen" don't start, although the option is ticked off or activated.

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Hi everybody,

Since the updates of 2006/05/23, gnome-screensaver doesn't start, although the option is ticked off (activated).
I went out a few moments (enough in comparision to what I had set), and it wasn't running.
So I tested it. I stopped any software like a video player which could stop the screensaver and setted it to start after 1 minute stopped touching the mouse or keyboard... It didn't launch.

Edit : I have just remarqued that the "lock-screen" fonctionality doesn't work anymore too (it was working before for me).
There is a problem with screensaver since the 2006/05/23.

is /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver set to true ?

whoops that should have been:
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver
(somehow my mouse pasted twice)

In fact, after some tests, it is a duplicate from +bug/35211.
