Ah, right. It's a window manager just like KDE, Sawfish and so forth. Not everyone has gone with Gnome or KDE, you see. There are dozens of alternatives. The one using the standard interface favoured by GNU is WindowMaker, in itself a close clone of the NeXT desktop. If I run the Gnome control centre (I have to type gnomecc at a command prompt), it won't actually configure the monitor's settings because my machine uses the X standards, not the Gnome way of doing things. I've found out how to set the powersave feature though. I just put xscreensaver in my .xinitrc file and use xscreensaver-demo to configure the screensaver. I've got carried away though, and my machine now has a screensaver of my face in an Xflames furnace just before the monitor shuts down! Vik :v)
