Huh. Well, run it with -log for a few days and see what shows up. You will see a line when xscreensaver notices that the monitor has powered down. If it thinks it's still powered down, it won't launch hacks. The only time xscreensaver explicitly powers on the monitor is when unblanking the screen or displaying the unlock dialog. And even in those situations, it should time out and power off again eventually. Possibly some other app is messing with your DPMS settings, or turning the monitor back on. The "notifications" thing you're seeing suggests that that might be happening. > Thanks for xscreensaver (and Netscape, and XEmace, while I'm at it.)
