Description:
Any time I enter the screensaver capplet, I get a message box saying
xscreensaver is not running, would I like to start it.  I say yes, and
I'm able to demo screensavers from the list.  However, the Try and OK
buttons are disabled, so I can't save changes.  All I can do is cancel.
For the rest of the session, the message box no longer pops up, but I
still can't change anything.  If I relogin and start a new session, the
message box pops up again.  I've checked, and the xscreensaver daemon is
started whenever I hit OK on the message box, but it doesn't start with
a new session.

Also, the old capplet had controls for power management which are not on
the new capplet.  Why did this feature go away?
