Cinnamon Screensaver is not running

Hi
I am using cinnamon as my regular desktop. Yesterday, I made a mistake to install kde, which disturbed my settings. Later, I uninstalled kde. But now there is a problem that cinnamon-screensaver is not working. The following command:

Code:

cinnamon-screensaver-command -q

says:

Code:

** Message: Screensaver is not running!

When I invoke '/usr/bin/cinnamon-screensaver, it says:

Code:

(cinnamon-screensaver:950): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.cinnamon.desktop.screensaver' does not contain a key named 'logout-enabled'

I also tried to add '/usr/bin/cinnamon-screensaver' as 'custom command' in Startup Applications. But its not working.
How can I fix it and re-enable cinnamon-screensaver.
Regards

Does

Code:

cinnamon-screensaver-command -a

show a screen saver?

See

Code:

man cinnamon-screensaver-command

for more details.
I suggest you reinstall cinnamon-screensaver-command if this fails, provided it doesn't want to uninstall cinnamon!!!

Code:

cinnamon-screensaver-command -a

does nothing. No screensaver, no output, none.
I have removed and reinstall cinnamon-screensaver but still:

Code:

cinnamon-screensaver-command -a
cinnamon-screensaver-command -q

both are not working.
