You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In a fresh ubuntu gutsy installation (probably it's the same in feisty
and edgy) you don't have a default gnome-screensaver.

You can see this problem if you go under
system-->preferences-->screensaver menu

This problem is caused by a wrong entry in
/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml

I fixed this problem replacing the wrong entry:

WRONG ENTRY: (line 94 - 96 in /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml)
<entry name="theme" mtime="1191425664" type="string">
   <stringvalue>screensavers-ubuntu_theme</stringvalue>
</entry>

CORRECT ENTRY:
<entry name="themes" mtime="1191425664" type="list" ltype="string">
    <li type="string">
        <stringvalue>screensavers-ubuntu_theme</stringvalue>
    </li>
</entry>

- entry name "themes" replaced with "theme"
- entry type of "name" is list with ltype string

I'm glad i could help.
