I am running Mandrake 7.1 and still a newbie at linux. Trying out xfce I entered the line xscreensaver & in my home xfwmrc. The xscreensaver worked just fine. Now all of a sudden it no longer starts when re-loging into xfce. The line is still there, but the daemon has to be "restarted" from within xfce. (Trying to change something else, I had used "Drakeconfig" but I am sure I just looked around and did not change anything.) Any idea where I should start looking? Any log that might show what has changed? I do not think this has anything to do with the Drakeconfig incident mentioned above. Thanks. Jeff Malka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux user 183185
