What's good about it is yo= u can have any 'locker' you want. For now, I'm using feh in slideshow mode. For another, you can specify another program as a 'killer' such as a susp= end or hibernate script. However, for a traditional ss, I have been using xlo= ck forever - many more modes than xscreensaver, and just a simple binary to worry about. Terry
