Screensaver Crashes Xwindows

[Marklar]

When I leave the computer for a while, xwindows (KDE) crashes. I think it started after I accidentally (OK maybe it wasnt really an accident) clicked on .Xclients in the /root directory while in KDE.

Anyhow here is my .xsession-errors log:

What files would .Xclients modify ?
Thanks in advance for help fixing this one.

What Linux are you using? When I was using Debian, and now Mepis, I had to add the line Option "DPMS" to my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Does the screen just go grey, then you are kicked out of your X session? This may fix it if so.

Did it only happen once when you executed .Xclients or ever since?

All screensavers?

Have a look at the contents of .Xclients to see what it does.

It seems to have fixed itself. The only thing I can think of is that I tried a hard reboot (power off) so maybe some weird bit in some obscure register got reset.

The cool end to the story is that I got Xinerama working. Dual screens ROCK !!!!

I think I may add one or two more :D

Thanks for your helpful suggestions.

They certainly do. Twinview with dual Viewsonic 19" running both at 1800x1440. :)
