Sometimes when I'm not typing or moving the mouse. Once per 5 minutes perhaps. Usually when something else is going on - for example typing url and waiting for the browser to render the page just to realize that it has done so several seconds ago but display doesn't show it. Sometimes in the middle of window managers menu creation. I can see the whole menu area but it contains only half of the entries. > >> For >> minutes I can just stare at Gkrellm and see the clock (and everything >> else) not doing anything.

YES! In fact I've tested this by going two floors down to server room, login there, ssh from there to my workstation, find that everything works and then come back.
