Ah yes - that was it.  I installed xscreensaver, which then comes 
available in gnome, and had to change the xvnc startup in inetd.conf to 
use -depth 24 from the default 16 (didn't set the depth previously).

Thanks - I was actually after the 'poltyopes' screensaver I've seen on 
other machines - it was in xscreensaver.

Happy now - thanks for your help
