	Yeah...  I saw that option in xscreensaver.  That's just evil.  It's
bad enough when I run the "pipes" screen saver on "Chaos" where I'm running
the latest Samba on (the one that acts as a PDC and all the NT boxes think
it's king god NT) and then the NT weenies find out it's really Linux in
wolve's clothing...  :-)  Best thing was when the VP of Engineering was
watching me and I had VMWare up and running full screen (looks like I had
jumped ship and was on the NT bandwagon - NOT) on Chaos and the friggen
NT decided to lock up on me.  I just went to another screen and killed
the VMWare window without loosing any of my Linux stuff.  :-)

	Having a BSoD screen saver would really confuse the bejesus out
of everyone.  "HEY, chaos has blue-screened!  But I can still get to it?
How do you get NT to do that?"
