Thomas, Through GnomeControlCenter's Screensaver icon, I had previously encountered xscreensaver-demo. I had thought of it as the xscreensaver configurator and hadn't known it was separate from the Control Center. I appreciate the additional info. However, I'm still looking for some sort of history info so I can easily tell which screensaver was run. Ciao, David
