KDE 2.2 + Screensavers

Has anyone got the screensavers working in kde 2.2? I can test the savers, and kde thinks its executing the screen savers when the idle time expires, but the desktop doesnt change. I remember the kde that shipped with suse 7.2 had this problem and updated rpms on the ftp site fixed the problem. As far as I can see, kdebase-2.2.0-5 and kdelibs-2.2.0-7 seem to suffer from the same original problem. Is there a fix? I'm happy to apply it myself (i.e. I dont have to wait for suse to fix it...assuming there is a problem with the rpms which I admit is much less likely that a problem with my config).
