I have a similar problem - but on RedHat 7.3 with Ximian Desktop 2.
The console works fine. But on LTSP terminals (or any remote X display -
I have also tested from a RH7.2 system running XFree86 4.1), the Lock Screen
button doesn't work at all (nothing happens). If I go to XScreenSaver config,
I get the error message as above. However, even after launching it,
Lock Screen still doesn't work.
Should I try to rebuild or replace the xscreensaver package? Where
should I get a newer/fixed version?
