I too see the issue on F11 GNOME after upgrading the
xorg-x11-server-Xorg to resolve the screen blanking issue per
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501601
In my case i'm able to force the screen-saver to run by manually locking
the screen using Ctrl-Alt-L.

Not sure.
I've tried to manually activate the screensaver (Ctrl-Alt-L, The panel's
"lock" button) and neither one worked.
Then again, I only saw it in KDE 4.3 (@kde-redhat-unstable *) - not in
GNOME. *

* I've yet to report it - mostly because I could not quite determine
who's the culprit.
