I am having the same problem. I am using Ubuntu Hardy Heron with all packages updated. This problem started occurring about two to three weeks ago. I have not touched the settings in gnome-screensaver since Gutsy or maybe even Feisty. gnome-screensaver was working perfectly fine for awhile in Hardy. I think one of the updates ruined it.
When I run gnome-screensaver --debug, I get this when the screensaver kicks in: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnome-screensaver --debug [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":1.0". Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":1.0". The screen flashes black for less than a second and it goes to the previous view.
