I have xscreensaver. Why does it call gnome-screensaver? or rather, why
does it call the screensaver? Shouldn't it just be "blank screen"?

gnome-screensaver is in gnome-2.14 and I'm still on gnome-2.12.
(incidentally, I just noted that this is in the FAQ. Sorry)

Attached is a patch to the gpm man page. Please comment/approve.
