Lets start over. When you log in you can choose the window manager, choose gnome. Open a konsole which should put you in /home/<user> mv .kde kde.backup this will rename the directory. log out
Log in again now select kde this will recreate .kde now set your screen saver, i use random so i use them all.
when you log out and back in you should have the same screensaver you choose. Likely there was a corruption of the files on the drive. Remember its a physical device and sensitive to any little change in voltage and a large change could create a corrupt file.
Thanks Carl, but I don't have Gnome installed. I could rename .kde from level 3 without X. Don't want to do that though because I would lose all of my special settings and/or have to rebuild the whole .kde tree from the backup file. There has to be a better way. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Bob S.
