I am Fedora user and I am not familiar with ubuntu, however from
this report it seems that José is using "karmic" branch (right?).

If so, this is due to the change in gnome-settings-daemon 2.27.4
From "NEWS" file in g-s-d:
------------------------------------------------------------------
==============
Version 2.27.4
==============
- Remove screensaver plugin, it's autostarted now (Matthias Clasen)
------------------------------------------------------------------

So now xscreensaver has to install desktop autostart stuff like
gnome-screensaver does (I don't know where ubuntu installs
desktop autostart stuff, however on Fedora it is /etc/xdg/autostart )
