Dear friends: Just spent a little time exploring XFCE's xscreensaver. I looked through the online documentation, tried out many of the screensavers and tried out some of the options. Xscreensaver certainly works in the sense that if you set it for such and such a time, it will come on at that time (e.g. after 5 minutes of inactivity). The problem seems to be that some of the screensavers, as someone else noted, do not work. Since xscreensaver runs its many screensavers at random, sooner or later you will get to one of the defective or non-existing screensavers. When you try the demos out, you will come across one of these non-existent screensavers with an error message from Xscreensaver. The documentation says that you can set Xscreensaver to stick to just one demo if you set the Cycle Timeout to zero (Screensaver Options tab). I tried to select a screensaver, enable it (which was already checked) and then set the Saver Timeout to 1 minutes. Xscreensaver came on all right but not with my screensaver but with its own random selection. I also checked my ~/.xscreensaver file. I didn't see any option there to set a specific screensaver. Has anyone had success with this or is Xscreensaver really defective? Thanks so much. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
