I'm also having an issue with mate-screensaver, but I don't

it's the same issue. In my case I have the theme set to Pictures
folder, but the screensaver never kicks in automatically after 5
minutes idle time. It does kick in if I manually lock the system.
Hmm. I don't usually use the Pictures folder, so my work-around for the
not-blanking bug was to create an image with a single black pixel, put
that in the Pictures folder, and set the screensaver to the Pictures
folder. That works for me, both manually locking the screen and after
the the idle timeout.
