Screen saver fails to start

[Thomas Cameron]

I checked and I do not see anything about "presentation mode" in the 
power manager settings. I see these three pages:

I added the system tray icon and I see that I can right click on the 
little battery symbol and presentation mode is NOT active.

Great advice, thank you so much!
