Hi --
Other folks seem to be having problems with their screensaver, but I can't even find where to set it. I checked and it seems Xscreensaver is installed -- I didn't install it. And there is a very ugly, bright colored screensaver in operation, but I've looked until I'm blue in the face and can't find where to access the setting. Help much appreciated.
Thanks.

thanks -- I was always going to the Settings in the right menu. And when and when the setting menu came up it had no screensaver in it. (I think it should be there.)
Anyway, thanks very much.
