I assume this refers to the root window. Surely you're not logged into X as root. Try this: check your DISPLAY environment variable with echo $DISPLAY make sure it's ':0.0' or something similar, like :0.0, then run this: /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver -display $DISPLAY & That should do what you're trying to do.
