Default Gnome screensaver starting when gnome app have focus in KDE

I have a Dell Dimension 5000 running Suse 10.0 with all updates applied,
two screens connected to a ATI Radeon 9200PCIE in xinerama mode, with
the proprietary fglrx ATI driver (fglrx_6_8_0_SUSE100 (8.20.8-1-i386)
that I installed with Yast
I use KDE 3.4.2-5

Everithing works almost fine but the screen saver :

When I leave my system with a gnome app having focus, it stats the gnome
screen saver (in an unknown mode) instead of starting the kde
screensaver as configured (with molecule )

Although this is not a critical issue, I dislike having a system doing
things I do not understand, it could lead to worse problems.

Does anybody have an idea of what is going on ?
Thank you.

Georges

Hallo Georges,

Try disabling the GNOME screensaver in the GNOME control-center, or else
try to uninstall the gnome screensaver with YAST.

I ended up up shutting gnome-screensaver down specifically in my
startup, using kill gnome-screensaver, then starting xscreensaver. I
couldn't see how to stop the darn thing.

Sorry, bad good news :-)

Worked when none of the mozilla apps (thunderbird or firefox) is running
and have focus.

Sorry Georges, I don't understand. What worked, and what happened when
mozilla had focus?

(Can you CC: me as well?)
