there has been a lot of discussion on the varios screen savers. What
about this alternative:
switch the monitor off while the machine is doing a run of several hours
(for example, making gnu c or TeX fonts).

This may be in addition to a software screen saver.

Question to well informed people: is there anything in the st (mega) or
the monitor (sm124) which might get overloaded or damaged if the computer is
running and the monitor is switched off?

If not this method should be the best for the sm124. If You run the
sm124 24 hours a day, some parts in it are really prone to get damaged,
e.g. c711 and c915.
