Xubuntu 8.04: Sscreensaver never kicks in Xubuntu compared to Ubuntu
where it kicks in after a timeout and locks the screen when accessing
via VNC client.

I dont know if this is related to this 'admin' thin-client issue mentioned here where certain admin functionality in Xubuntu is not available to anyone but the local display user:
