I have been using linux for close to 10 years now, and enlightenment for
many of them, so I hate to think of myself as a 'newbie', but I am
completely self taught, so there are definately some things I don't
know.  This snippet of code for example, I have seen many like this, but
have absolutely no idea what to do with it.  I would love to know how to
apply this fix, and others like it...could somebody point me to some
docs that explain this?

As a workaround for this particular problem, I run gnome-settings-daemon
from the e-exec line or from the 'run' command in e17, this seems to
handle the xscreensaver without throwing the extra garbage lines in my
eterm.

Thanks in advance,
-Sid
