Here, I think you need to recompile with the debug to provide the  
backtraces.

I can't reproduce here. I normal don't have gnome-screensaver enable, but  
I have tried to enable it and set idle to a minute. It works perfect here.  
In my system is complete up to date today. Have you tried to restart all  
services such as dbus, hal, avahi and etc yet?
