The problem is that 1 existing user on the machine has no access to the kde screensavers. She can open kcontrolcenter, click on the screensaver module and the module window appears but no screensavers are shown in the list or preview portions of the window. All other users can choose kscreensavers using this method so it's not an install problem. <snip> Suse 9.2 kde 3.5.1 (currently, but the problem has existed since 3.4 at least).
Hi David, Just wanted to share an idea and observation with you. First, I'm also running 3.5.1 but on 9.3. When I open KDE CC and select Theme Manager instead of Screen Saver, I have a small panel, bottom right, also called "Screen Saver". It seems to have the same functions but it pops up in another window instead of being embedded. That might be worth looking into. Also, has your wife installed or enabled some program to run at login that might, by design, be defeating only /her/ screensaver settings? Maybe there's nothing wrong with the Screen Saver module and/or config files. Maybe it's just a software 'switch' somewhere that has been turned off inadvertently and forgotten. Finally... can't you just create a new account for her and migrate her data? Or does this screensaver problem get transferred over, too? regards, Carl
