light-locker is the package. It is a small subset of xscreensaver, if I recall correctly. Look it up. There have been multiple threads in the past on Debian-User about this critter. Look it up. As for shutting it off, it can be uninstalled, via apt. But it would be good to research first. > > Thx, ...
