Ok - I remember using it several years ago, but it would lock up my *entire*
computer. I also had this problem with any screensaver, as well as when I
logged out completely and let my screen sit at the kdm login gui. Maybe it
was just a Redhat/Mandrake thing (no barb intended!) - I'll give it another
go now that I'm using Debian, which had more stable apps. Thanks!
