   I've tried consulting the unofficial "Compatibility List" but there are no
   screen blankers or mouse utilities listed there, which is my primary
   concern.  I was using QMouse before, but it doesn't appear to want to work
   on WB 2.0.

Actually, with 2.0 you don't need most of these tools. I used MachIII
under 1.3, but quit when I started using 2.0.

What exactly do you want? Accelerators are already in the system
(Icontrol preference tool, I think). There are lots of commodities for
doing the other things you list. A partial list...

CXMouseOff (or maybe just MouseOff) is a commodity that blanks the
mouse on a keystroke count. There's also a mouse blanker that uses a
time delay.

Blanker is a simple black screen blanker that comes with the system.

Starblanker blanks to Leo's moving star field. I don't have a copy,
because I recently replaced it with the stuff described below.
