Ok, as soon as I sent this I suspected the screensaver, and that is
exactly what it is.  When I try to change my screensaver in System |
Preferences, I get logged out as soon as the config panel shows up.  So
my next question is, where are the screensaver preferences stored, and
how can I change them manually?

And of course my next question is, why is the stupid screensaver logging
me out?
