This is typically the case when one builds gnome-screensaver with PAM support, but they are currently using a PAM module which requires the executable be setuid root (e.g. pam_unix). The only workaround is to rebuild gnome-screensaver without PAM support, or use a different PAM module which does not require root privileges. Joe -- PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc
