You are now user 2 to report this problem.  Question: did you upgrade kde
while currently logged into kde?  (If so, I recommend not doing that).

Regardless, post the contents of /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver and output of
$ rpm -q kdelibs kdebase
please (or send to me privately).

None that I'm aware of.

I would be much more constructive and helpful for everyone involved to
report the problems, so we can have a chance to fix it.
