Problem with kde screensaver on FC6

[William W. Austin]

I have used kde as my desktop for years and I DO NOT want to get back  
into the "my favorite desktop is better than yours" flame war.

However, I have recently done an install from scratch of FC6 on a  
former FC5 box.  The ONLY thing retained is home directories.  And that  
is probably where the problem is.

One user (me, unfortunately) cannot configure the screen saver - any  
other user (privileged or regular user) can click on the "Configure  
screen saver" button and the window pops up with a scrolling list of  
screen savers.  When I do that, I get ths configuration window but the  
list is unpopulated.

I am assuming that it is a setup snafu on my part, but I have tried  
moving ALL of the .kde, .gnome, .X* (.Xdefaults, .Xclients, ... etc.)  
and every other config dir to another location so that they would be  
recreated, but with no luck - the same results always occur.

Any suggestions on this one would really help (yes, I have previously  
posted this on the kde-linux list but without any answers).

Thanks - FC6 is a really solid release and my hats are off to the  
developers.
