I noticed that my system used to be very slow. I used top-command and noticed that I had multible solarwinds processes running and they were eating all of my resouces.
I am using newest uptodate cooker with gnone with XScreensaver enabled and I have selected solarwinds gl-module.
Because I was using my system, the xscreensaver were stopped and therefore I think that all solarwind processes should also have been killed, which was however not the case.
Here is my top-output

I rebooted the my computer just for safe and was able to reproduce the problem very easily.

1) Boot to gnome
2) Enable XScreensaver and select solarwinds
3) Let the screensaver start and run for a while
4) Activate computer so that xsreensaver deactivates
5) Use top and notice solarwinds processes

My system is following:
        Mandrake cooker,
        kernel-2.4.21.pre2.1mdk-1-1mdk (acpi off)
        xscreensaver-4.06-3mdk
        rss_glx-0.7.0-1mdk                (from contribs, I think that that includes solarwinds module)

        AMD K6-3 400 mhz
        Nvidia TNT2

I am not sure whether I should create a bug from this because the problem may as well be in the contrib-package than in the xcreensaver itself...
