Thanks Chris

What I want is to have the screen saver run but NOT require a password when I 
want back on my system. In GNOME if the System>Preferences>Screensaver Lock 
screen when screensaver is active button is left blank no password is required. 
That is what I wish to have happen.

I am also getting a message that the Gnome Screensaver is running which requests 
that it be stopped (wording is no exact here)  could that have a bearing on the 
issue?

Cheers,
Jay
