Sorry to keep asking, but is the "built-in screensaver" in X the same
as/using "xscreensaver?

Because I can prevent the behavior by removing xscreensaver, but not the
-gl and -data packages, which are required for gnome-screensaver.

If there is another layer as well I would like to know so that I can
understand my system better.....

As for not wanting a screensaver, I don't have my machine in an
environment where I worry about other people seeing what's on the
screen, whereas that swirling eye-catching stuff is distracting and
inappropriate in a working environment. I have no objections to other
people having the ability to use a screensaver, so long as I have the
ability to NOT use one.
