Description of problem: kcontrol (FOR ONE USER ONLY) cannot obtain a list of screensavers and screensaver cannot therefore be configured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.5-0.4.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.startx 2.wait until desktop is ready (sys initdefault is 3) and right-click on the "lock" symbol. 3.select "Configure Screen Saver" Actual results: The "Configure - KDE Control Module" window will appear, but it cannot find ANY screen savers. Expected results: The "Configure - KDE Control Module" window will appear, and it will display a list of installed screen savers to choose from. Additional info: I am pretty sure this an environment issue - but after RTFM'ing for weeks (this started under late fc5), I'm still stuck. This works correctly for most other non-priv. users and for root, so I suspect an environment issue but have spent 3-5 weeks chasing it down with no luck. I know it's a small thing but trying to find it is driving me batty.
could you please try following steps: - login into KDE with login name which has this issue - mv $HOME/.config HOME/.config.orig - kbuildsycoca --noincremental Does it fix the problem?
