[TriLUG] Disable Some Screensavers

[Brian Henning]

Mm, yes, I found xscreensaver-demo a few days ago.  However....

I'm not using the xscreensaver daemon.  KDE is handling inactivity and 
launching the screensaver.

I can move binaries out of /usr/lib/xscreensaver, but while that does 
effectively block one, it doesn't prevent KDE from looking for it..  I'm 
guessing there must be a configuration file (something like 
.xscreensavers) somewhere that has a list I can fiddle with.

Thanks though!

Only the ones that are checked will be automatically run by the xscreensaver daemon (though you can still run the others explicitly by double-clicking on them in the xscreensaver-demo window.)

You can also just edit that file directly: disable the ones you don't like by putting a minus (-) at the beginning of the line. The xscreensaver daemon will notice when the file has changed and reload it automatically."
