Has anyone on this list who runs XDM tried to get the 'xscreensaver'
to run on the login screen? The 'man' page gives some instructions,
but those do not work for me. In fact, the suggestion to place
xhost +localhost
in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config does not work. On my system, the way to
run GUI apps as root under XOrg is more like this:
xhost +local:root
Using this in 'xdm-config' prevents the startup breakage, but still
does not allow 'xscreensaver' to run.
This is a matter of curiosity, just to see if anyone has been able
to get it working. The 'xscreensaver' runs fine once my regular
user logs in, and I have the XOrg DPMS settings adjusted so that
the monitor blanks if no one logs in to the XDM login within 5
minutes.
