Well, you should have done some more research, then: > http://snapshot.debian.org/package/mate-screensaver/ There are plenty versions available. > This means that I cannot upgrade or downgrade as you have shared.

And unless you found a bug, please don't post your personal problems here. I know it sounds harsh and I don't mean to be harsh, but this isn't really the place to report such issues. > I can share that but it's kinda impossible for me as a user to know > how the different software components interact.

If it doesn't occur on a fresh installation, it isn't really a bug I'm afraid unless you can show us a way to reproduce it. > If you do see something in the list which might be affecting the > operation of mate-screensaver and its operation, please let me know > and I will shut down that service and see if that is the source of the > problem. Again, this isn't a support forum and you shouldn't expect others to fix your computer problems here. There are lists like debian-users for these kind of problems. Adrian -- .''`.
