screensaver logging me out


Whenever my screensaver kicks in, the comp logs me out. Also, I cannot change the screensaver to never start as if I bring it up either thru the control panel or a right click, I get logged out as soon as the screen saver module comes up. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am using kde on fc5_x64

When I right-click on the my KDE desktop and select 'Configure Desktop', I see a Screensaver option in the left panel. If I click on it, I have a checkbox that says 'Start automatically'. If I don't have that checked, then it doesn't start.

If I do have it checked, then underneath that checkbox is a 'Require password to stop' checkbox. If I check that, then I have the problems that you're having - I need a password to log back in.

This link might not work, but I'm going to plunk in a link to a screeshot. Does yours look the same way?
