Hi Frédéric, I cannot reproduce this bug :-S. I'm doing this to try to reproduce it: $ xscreensaver-demo (I Change the timeout from 4 to 10 and close xscreensaver-demo) $ grep timeout .xscreensaver timeout: 0:10:00 $ xscreensaver-demo (I can see again the timeout in 10 and change it to 4 then close xscreensaver-demo) $ grep timeout .xscreensaver timeout: 0:04:00 Can you reproduce it in another machine? Try purging and reinstalling xscreensaver (it should be the same but who knows?). Maybe there's something in some script that restart this value to 0:01:00?...
