I see. An unpleasant side-effect is that the screensaver
function keeps kicking in. I guess I'll remove the "lock" flag
from xfce-utils. Oddly, I have the "lock" flag for xfce-utils
on another similar system, and emerge doesn't think it needs
xscreensaver on that system. Perhpas because I have xlockmore
installed on that system?
