Dual screensavers

[Yun Zhou]

Are you sure that you turned the Xinerama option off? I never turned mine on, 
and I have two seperate desktops that have seperate backgrounds, and many of 
my friends at first thought it was two seperate computers. 

However, I never got screensaver on the secondary monitor to work, and it 
never seems to go into powersave either, which is quite bad as it is a CRT. I 
remember that I did make a reply sometime in January, I think, about putting 
screensaver on both screens, but I never got any replies.
