Yes, that seems to be the problem. Nothing that seemed useful in .xsession-errors, but I was able to run xscreensaver manually with the log option and a short (1 minute) time interval for changing the screensavers. After about 1.5 hours, xscreensaver died with this at the end of the log file: [...] xscreensaver: 12:44:46: 0: child pid 17369 (polyominoes) terminated with signal 15. xscreensaver: 12:44:46: 0: visual 0x21 (TrueColor, depth: 24, cmap: 256) xscreensaver: 12:44:46: 0: saver window is 0x8000aa. xscreensaver: 12:44:46: 0: destroyed old saver window 0x8000a8. xscreensaver: 12:44:46: 0: spawning "cubenetic -root" in pid 17386. xscreensaver: 12:45:46: 0: killing pid 17386 (cubenetic) xscreensaver: 12:45:46: 0: child pid 17386 (cubenetic) terminated with signal 15 . xscreensaver: 12:45:46: 0: visual 0x21 (TrueColor, depth: 24, cmap: 256) xscreensaver: 12:45:46: 0: saver window is 0x8000ac. xscreensaver: 12:45:46: 0: destroyed old saver window 0x8000aa. xscreensaver: 12:45:46: 0: spawning "julia -root" in pid 17408.

No idea what this indicates (but I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the julia screensaver specifically.) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
