Thanks a lot : I was afraid no-one would reply. Yes, that worked & I've gone on to emerge the latest Xscreensaver-6.01-r3 , which has restored 'xscreensaver-settings' (was '-demo'), so I can finally suppress a couple of really ugly screensavers ! I did check Bugs for 'motif', but the bug above dates from 2016, so it didn't turn up in my search. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
