What is the best solution for the present time? Can screen savers be
turned off so it doesn't pop up? If so, I don't mind doing that in my
home environment.  I wonder what happens when someone locks the
screen? does that bring up the same situation?  I'm referring to the
lock option available from the logout dialog.

Thanks for the help.
