The problem can also be due to encrypted connections to the LDAP server
since the private key must be readable by root only. In older versions
of ubuntu (at least Dapper Drake) the following commands fixed the
problem:
chmod +s /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver-dialog
chmod +s /usr/bin/kcheckpass
But due to the SUID/SGID bits possible security holes are opened.
Under Feisty Fawn even this does not work anymore! A connection of the
screensavers to the LDAP server over nscd would (as suggested above)
should be the best solution.
