Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
When I boot with the screensaver not activated and then activate the screensaver, the screen starts to fade but then immediately returns to the desktop instead of starting the screensaver.
As a workaround I can watch the preview or I have to reboot. After these activities the screensaver works fine.

On a similar note, half of the time my computer does not turn the monitor off. Instead of blanking the screen, it puts an icon in the notification tray until I move the mouse to "wake" it.
