you are correct. And I finally found, under the Debian menu ( that would be 
the gnome Apps??) under system -control panel-screensaver. the screensaver  
was CHECKED. I unchecked it.
I run KDE, but... I guess some gnome apps are installed and executable.

thanks for the tips. I wonder why it got turned on, when I wasn't running it 
before, and all I did was the "normal" aptitude updates...
running Debian Lenny.
