I checked both boxes in the screen saver configuration. Still get a 
login screen - login from scratch, all applications are closed. If I 
uncheck both, all is well, except that there is no screen saver, of course.

I tried different selections with in the screen saver, including blank 
screen. Logout behaviour was unchanged. When you suggest a different 
screensaver, are you referring to a different program? Can you recommend 
one?

Thanks,
Mike
