Since no one seems to be able to help us any further, let's try with a different question: => how (if at all) can I find out if the screensaver is running (i.e. visible) on an X-terminal? If I can find this out, then I will have the screensaver detect inactivity, and then I will peek at the screensaver every once in a while, so I can terminate the session. !!!!!!!! I am a such a helpless and hopeless screen-saver newbie; please help me, I am totally stuck, ready to give up yesterday!!!!!!!
