One other thing that is "weirdly" different:
On the old box, when the screensaver kicks in (I have it set for blank
screen only) it takes 5-10 seconds to fade to black.
On the new box it changes instantaneously.
I'm guessing there's some setting I can make in gconf-editor that controls
that, but so far I've not found it.
But wherever it is set, I've never messed with it on either box, so why
would one fade to black slowly, and the other instantaneously?
Anyone know how to adjust that setting?
Thanks!
