This is because we use shadow passwords, and the KDE screensavers are
installed non-setuid by default.  Changing their permissions to
4555 root.wheel will make them work.  However - do we really want to
distribute a lot of extra setuid programs?  (The correct design would
have been to have a single module that checked the password.)
