That is the source of the problem. Something is wrong with your profile that removed your user's ability to modify your gconf files. A variety of things could have occurred to get your system in this state, including disk corruption. You can try restoring your permissions with the following comma

The problem doesn't lie with the code, which is why we cannot reproduce this issue. Could you please try adding another user to your system and seeing if the screensaver works for that second user? Could you check to make sure your ~/.gconf directory and subdirectories have appropriate permission

They are NOT checked. That's what I have been trying to say all along. Unchecking those boxes for some reason is NOT being properly written to what ever configuration file that controls the screensaver/going blank function. OR for some reason the changes that are being made to that file are poss
