I had this problem a while ago, when I used gentoo. I can't remember exactly how I solved it, but I think it had something to do with old gnome and/or gtk config files that were sitting in my home directory. Try removing (ie. moving to a backup directory) all your .gtk* and .gnome* files/directories, and see if that solves the problem.

On the other hand, maybe I just solved it by not using -stop-xscreensaver; it was a while ago and I can't really remember. But hopefully this helps. ;)
