I have a similar problem.  Sometimes the screensave kicks in, sometimes
it doesn't.  If the screensaver hasn't started after the set time, open
a terminal and do a ps -ef.  Look for a process that has something like
kdedesktop_lock or desktop_lock or something like that.  I can't
remember exactly what it is but it has the lock at the end.  Kill that
process and the screensaver should kick on.
