That probably on wraps your display. You need to set your editor to
wrap the lines for you before it sends them.
And in case you don't beleive us:

For you gnome users, theres a new/old gnome-control center
at:

You'll also want the xscreensaver updates there.
You probably need to uninstall gnome-control-center-plus, and possible
