There is no real format, but xscreensaver and kdescreensaver just are daemons that sit in the background waiting for idle time from the xserver. The real difference from xscreensaver and kdescreensaver is that kde hacked up xscreensaver to conform with thier deamon. If your looking for a somewhat standard of screensaver I would use xscreensaver because it works for all window managers. hope I could help! ===== /^\|==::::: Ted Kat. :::::==|/^\ ------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
