Hi, Thanks for the info you sent. But as it doesn't actually correct whatever is wrong with the Molecule screensaver module, I would not call it a "fix", but only a workaround. My own "fix" is to make darn sure I never select that module from the list.
Apparently the problem was not widespread, but specific to only a few (although quite common) video cards, so it didn't negatively impact a large enough user base to warrant devoting a large-scale effort to diagnose and treat it, and that's fine.
