Bad news, the workaround (disable screensaver) does not work.
The screen blanking came back again...

I see that I have 1s difference between my "server" and my "client",
either are NTP synchronised...
By the way, looking more closesly, the timer error hapens quiet
regularly and not just when my screen blanks, as I thought.

I have only the vnc4server package, vncserver is a link to vnc4server 
configured via
alternatives.
So only vnc4 applications here, server and client.

I've seen some discussion about accessing VNC through a VPN.
I am in this case (Via OpenVPN).
At home, between to PC with VNC, sid version, 64 bit on the "server", on a 
single LAN, with nvidia proprietary drivers :
- No screnn blanking ! (And I get the "time has moved forwards!"
  message, definitly, it has nothing to do with my blanking problem)

I tried to reduce the MTU on my tun interface, but it does nothing.

Meanwhile, I tried x11vnc in place of x0vnc4server, and it works fine, so I 
doubt my problem
comes frome the nvidia driver, kde or the screensaver...
