22 I see. An unpleasant side-effect is that the screensaver
23 function keeps kicking in. I guess I'll remove the "lock" flag
24 from xfce-utils. Oddly, I have the "lock" flag for xfce-utils
25 on another similar system, and emerge doesn't think it needs
26 xscreensaver on that system. Perhpas because I have xlockmore
27 installed on that system?
