If you want to help, at least read the thread first... That setting has 
never been set to anything else. I never turned it on in the first 
place, all I did was open the Screen Saver dialog and preview the screen 
savers to see which are available. To try to get it to stop, I have even 
un-installed the package gnome-screensaver, and it still won't go away...
