Bug Description

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04

kcometen4:
  Installiert: 1.0.7-2
  Installationskandidat: 1.0.7-2
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 1.0.7-2 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Whenever the screensaver is unlocked a new instance of process kcometen4 keeps running. Each process is occupying about 15% of a core (4% of the whole CPU resource) and ~20MByte of RAM. I would expect that at maximum one process is spawned or that the process is terminated whe the scrrensaver exits.

Please find attached a screenshot of the tasklist.

I investigated the problem deeper. The issues occurs on _ALL_ scrennsaver modules. The problem occurs _ONLY_ when the screensaver is started via timeout. A manually starting (lock screen) does not show the issue.

When multiple screensavers are running you can also see this on the monitor.
