Sorry for the delay in responding. I used the default install for 3.2. I also just noticed that it appears that memory is not being purged when apps are closed. Today when I "woke up" the screen from one of these odd screen saver like issues, it very briefly displayed a browser window with a site I was on yesterday. I looked carefully and confirmed that I did not actually have that window open on my system. It's as if something from yesterday's memory was sent to the screen and then closed. Rather disconcerting.
