I did do a bit of googling, didn't find anything ... there were other querks with the system too.
I thought maybe it was the ATI driver I loaded in via EasyUbuntu - so I decided to remove it. But I wasn't sure which package it was exactly, so I removed the one I thought it was. Turned out I ended up dumping the entire X server, and had no idea how to fix it (there were errors all over the place and I was cline only). So yeah. I just wiped it and reinstalled.
PS: I didn't load the ATI driver this time and it seems to lock fine now - not sure if that was it .. meh.

I think this is a problem with the screen saver system of some sort. I've
been testing today to see if the screen saver would kick in, and it refuses
to - but using the test button works fine. Seeing as locking the screen and
enabling the screen savers are closely related....
i was just about to try some steps to look into this.
In the meantime, did you do a google search? Did you look at the known bugs
for kubuntu? This info would be helpful in my efforts as well.
