Hello,
     Since upgrading either to Gnome-2.6 or latest xscreensaver-gnome (not sure which is the culprit), I've been seeing lots of core files as a result of xscreensaver.

Here is what I've got installed:

 pkg_info xscreensaver-gnome*
Information for xscreensaver-gnome-4.15_2:
 
Comment:
Save your screen while you entertain your cat (for GNOME users)
 
Required by:
gnome2-2.6.0
 
Description:
Xscreensaver will run several programs to continuously update the
screen instead of going blank.  You can specify the programs and their
arguments using resources.  You can also add dpms (power saver) options.
 
Xscreensaver will make use of any installed OpenGL libraries, such as
Mesa (also in the ports collection).
 
The client-server model employed by xscreensaver make it a superior choice
to xlock, since no seperate auto-locking program is needed.  It's also
extremely easy to add new programs like xearth, or any other program that
can fill the root window as additional screensavers.

As with other things on these systems here, I've not actually configured the screensavers, leaving them to default to random files and timeouts.

I'd like to know if there is some tweak I can make to fix this, please.

Regards,

Stacey
