Hi Julian, I installed xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver and that seems to have solved the problem for me. I believe it has to do with gnome-screensaver-command --poke' not working properly, but I didn't look too far into the issue...

Using Fedora 12 with Gnome desktop. Regards. Julian --- Jabber: squall38@xxxxxxxxxxxxx E-Mail: sloevenh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ******************** Nedbank Limited Reg No 1951/000009/06.
