I suspect there is something wrong in your user's profile. Temporarily creating a second user to test a clean profile, and deleting this after is the best way to confirm that.
The command to start gconf-editor is "gconf-editor". On the window on the left, click on Apps, and gnome-screensaver. Remove the checks from "idle activation enabled" and "lock enabled". Close gconf-editor, reopen it again and see if the settings have been saved. The file I want you to look at is ~/.gconf/apps/gnome- screensaver/%gconf.xml. Make sure you have permissions to modify it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714015 Title: blank screen saver buttons do NOT work in ati 9600 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
