You have been subscribed to a public bug: when i start the screensaver i get a sudden logout to gdm. if i put in gconf the screensaver key to null i can open the gnome-screensaver config tool. if i choose one screensaver in the config tool then the system crashes again. i had to disable the screensaver
the xsession-errors output is: (gnome-screensaver:5087): gnome-screensaver-WARNING **: Unknown option --sm-client-id this startde to hapen in the last days, problably after an update ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gnome screensaver crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105537 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
