This shouldn't make any difference if PAM is being used -- xscreensaver just calls pam_krb5 in that case.

Try adding the 'debug' option to pam_krb5 lines in your PAM configuration; see if anything interesting gets logged to the auth log.

Also worth trying is `pamtester xscreensaver steve authenticate`, both under your normal account and as root.
