Yay! Someone who knows what is going on! Thank you Rashkae, you hit the 
nail right on the head. 8-)

Here is the output of xset q [edited to just show the screen saver info]

ray at ray-desktop:~$ xset q

Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  600    cycle:  600

So, evidently the gui Screen Saver software doesn't control or know 
about this setting. I can now shut the blanking off, and if it reoccurs 
on the next boot up, I will simply write a small bash script to shut it 
off, and add it to the Sessions Manager so it runs on boot up.

Once again, thanks for the tip Rashkae, you rule! 8-)

Later, Ray Parrish
