after that
./configure; make
worked nicely, thank you.
I exited my existing xscreensaver and fired up the one built in
driver/; it promptly said:
xscreensaver: WARNING: RANDR and Xinerama report different
xscreensaver: screen layouts! Believing RANDR.
which looks *a lot* like a clue ;-)
It's still trying to use landscape mode. This is with the
else if (rot & (RR_Rotate_90|RR_Rotate_270))
line in screens.c suppressed by prefixing 0 & before rot. Re-enabling
and re-building, I get the same warning as above and the same
behaviour.
Something I've neglected to describe before: when I select Screen ->
Locking -> Lock Screen (XScreenSaver), the *whole* screen fades to
black, but as soon as it's all black it re-displays the bottom portion
of the screen and begins using the top square for xscreensaver
activity.
The error's coming from randr_versus_xinerama_fight(), so I've changed
the code to trust Xinerama instead of RANDR - and the problem's fixed :-)

</patch> Obviously, I leave it to those with better knowledge of the
code to work out how to do it better ...
