I did find, rather someone on the list told me, but it didn't matter. Thank you for the effort. I discovered the program: /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver . I have no idea why it was running on a KDE desktop: My desktop has a captital K stepping in a gear in the lower left corner. >From another virtual terminal, xwininfo -tree -root showed me a 1280x1024 window named gnome-screensaver. I couldn't xkill it, but ps gave me its process ID. As a stopgap, I copied it to another name, removed the original, and made an empty file with all-zero permission bits. Presumably this will cause me trouble at update time. > in a previous post, i suggested 1 -> 4, you tried 1, 2. no joy, which leaves; > > 3) r & r kde. > 4) someone else this list | kde 'tech list' | read source. > > now, i would suggest skip #3. there was no 4-a. i doubt you want to go thru > 4-c.

These are other distros, right?
