A rather peculiar problem: After updating a fresh installation of Linux Mint Debian Edition, I lost the ability to change the screensaver and lock settings, here's a screenshot of the relevant settings page, completely missing the actual setting options:



Screensaver and Lock Settings



According to the release notes of the Update Pack 7, the cinnamon-screensaver package replaces and removes gnome-screensaver, which sounds like the root of the problem. The problem persists even after removing and re-installing cinnamon-screensaver, though.



Any suggestions?

          That's Cinnamon's view of the screensaver. Gnome has it's own view in gnome-control-center that controls the settings you want.
          gnome-control-center
          enter image description here

          Oddly (in Mint Maya at least) both show up in the menu under system tools as "System Settings" making it extra confusing. I ended up renaming one "Gnome Settings"
