Yes. If you do cd /usr/local/bin chmod 4555 *.kss chmod 4555 kcheckpass You will just unlock the screen by entering the password. Maybe you should first make a note of the perms on *.kss just in case you want to revert back. The CD player also asks me to vrf that I have access to /dev/rmatcd0 or whatever... Try the above and lemme know if it has any effect on the screen savers.
