   The objection that xclock and xload will defeat the screen saver does not
really make sense because most people has a "xlock" program that serves
as a screen saver and security  when they are really away from the display.
   It is quite annoying when my client program is happily updating the
display and all of a sudden, the display goes blank and you have to move the
mouse or something to redraw the screen. Particularly so when certain 
information may be lost duing the blank out time.
