(1) All screensavers are missing. Usually I am used to
seeing the following

but now when I look in kcontrol, all I get is Blank, None and Tux Screensaver.
What should I check to figure out why they are not loading? The only failure I
find in .xsession-errors that looks relevant is:
Could not load library! Trying exec....
kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'klipper' from launcher.
kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'kpowersave' from launcher.
Failure: Module initialization failed
kdeinit: PID 2975 terminated.
could the kpowersave failure be related to the missing screensavers?
Basically, the opengl screensavers are not showing up. They did show up
previously in both 3.5.12 and R14, but on this install, they are not showing up
in 3.5.13-sru. Is there some command that I can run from the cli when launching
'kcmshell screensaver' that might disclose where the failure is?
I am running the *EXACT* same tdelibs and tdebase as I am on another 3513-sru
install where the screensavers are fine, so I haven't a clue where this failure
may be.
On this particular box, all xorg and x11 libraries are the same as on the
working 3513 install, so it isn't xorg/x11 related. This box does have a newer
kernel from today, but that's about it. What else is relevant to have kcmshell
screensaver load the list of opengl screensavers?
