Thanks - I'm embroiled in a couple other tasks right now, so I'll try this by the morning Swiss time. :) I did find gconf-editor - I noticed it didn't show xscreensaver, which is installed, but rather gnome-screensaver. Should I install the gnome version instead?
Yes, I do interact with a openchrome expert who's in Poland, I believe, from time to time. So when I can reproduce some of this again I'll file an appropriate bug. Ah, it's my fate to own a worst-case laptop!
