The screensaver on one user's box is killing X. I can't use the control

screensavers? .xscreensaver has a whole lot of weird options to,
apparantly, control screensavers, but no enable/disable feature.
$ ps -ef | grep screensaver # see if it xscreensaver or
gnome-screensaver or whatever
# pkill xscreensaver # kill the screensaver daemon
This should do it for the initial shot.
The right way to do it is to edit $HOME/.xscreensaver, look for the
line that starts mode:
and change the word at the end of the line to off.
