Unfortunately, gnome-screensaver is started automagically whilst I
have to kill gnome-screensaver and start xscreensaver manually.
    

If you want to stop gnome-screensaver from starting automatically,
setting the the gconf pref
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver to false
should work.

Thanks Brian - that sounds about right.  How do I access that switch?  I have gconf listed in /etc and /usr/share but beyond this in /usr/share/gconf there are sub-directories which seem to contain a number of xml files with the suffix *.schemas

Cheers
