Since all the settings for power management, screensaver, etc
are per-user settings, to get changes to stick, you need to get
that user to have the right settings (which is non-trivial
since the settings are usually stashed in dconf, but changing
a different user's dconf is tricky, plus you need to discover
the actual names of the relevant settings in the dconf database).

It used to work, pre-F22.
I tried gnome-screensaver, then removed it and went back to xscreensaver.
I'll keep plugging away at this.

I simply began to believe the new standing doctrine is: <b>no more
screensavers!</b> The Wikipedia entry on them implies they are a
worse-than-useless leftover from the old CRT days and that you're
better off, all things considered, letting your screen blank out.<br>
<br>
The upgrade to F22 totally destroyed my desktop slideshow and
screensaver settings. They left me with a bare-bones environment: <i>no</i>
wallpaper other than the default F22 wallpaper, and <i>no</i>
screensaver--just blank the screen after however many minutes of
inactivity. I've tried half a dozen times to change desktop or
floating-view settings. Each time, KDE's Plasma environment crashes
and has to restart. Finally I gave it up. I wouldn't know what
component to file a bug against. Suggestions?<br>
