Instead of wasting time looking for the problem, I would first just 'apt-get purge xscreensaver' making sure all configure files are gone, then reinstall, reconfigure. Or do what I did: dispense with a screensaver entirely. Haven't used one in years. Waste of CPU cycles. Besides modern computer screens don't even need them anymore. They aren't prone to image burning like tube-type monitors were. I just use xset or a power management utility, if installed, to "sleep" the monitor display after a set time of system idleness. Works great. B
