Having moved from xfce to fvwm2 I now no longer seem to have a screensaver. xscreensaver is installed on my system but the manual pages don't make it clear how to actually run it. What's the 'normal' way of running it?

(or at least, that's how I run it for ion3, I really should get round to adding it to the startup scripts :)

Ah, yes, what I actually meant was where do you run it from if you see what I mean. I.e. it seems a bit stupid to have to run it 'manually' from a command prompt. Where do you put the 'xscreensaver -no-splash' command?

Ubuntu uses gdm, gdm uses the wrapper script of doom to start an xsession... anyways...
If you're using fvwm2, probably ~/.xsession would be the file you're looking for, just before it starts fvwm2 put:
xscreensaver -no-splash&
That should cover it.
(I still type it manually when I login, still really must get round to adding it to the system ;)

Excellent, absolutely right, I'd just forgotten where fvwm2 was run from (that's my excuse anyway!). Thanks.
