Blank and random part of kdebase. Next screensavers are part of kdeartwork (on

you installed packages from kdeartwork?

All of the screensavers are there...
On the nonworking box, I have:

So how could the screensavers just not get installed?? (1) All screensavers are missing. Usually I am
used to seeing the
following (screenshot from another 3513 install):
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/3513-ScrnSav-OK.jpg
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?
