I might add...logging in as root, and then walking away from the machine
seems even more questionable.

Nonetheless, I am interested in the outcome of this thread, since, even 
logged in as joeuser,
my KDE screensaver will not start and lock the screen.  If I walk away 
and come back to the
machine hours later, my desktop is still showing, and the screen is not 
locked.
I have to manually choose to lock the screen, either in KMenu or 
right-click on the desktop.
Then screensaver starts and screen locks.
But I´d rather have this come on in 5minutes, as I have configured it to 
supposedly do.
