Screensaver

[Tyler Nally <tnally iquest net>]

Greetings folks...

I run my Linux Mandrake machine to boot into the GUI throught the /etc/inittab
file as stated here...

  # Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
  #   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
  #   1 - Single user mode
  #   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) 
  #   3 - Full multiuser mode 
  #   4 - unused
  #   5 - X11
  #   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
  #
  id:5:initdefault:  

.. which is no big deal as it boots to the GUI login screen, etc.

What I've always wanted to know iiiiissssssss.... 

  Q:  How can I boot the machine into the GUI and at the same time 
      of the boot to the GUI, start Xscreensaver in the background?

I'd like for the screen to be *active* while the machine is unused
(nobody logged in at the console) waiting for someone to sit down and
login (me ... eventually).  I think it'd be much better visually 
doing this instead of the having a *blank* screen prior to someone 
touching the keyboard or mouse activating the screen back to life.

I figger this is way *kewler* than the traditional WinNT machine around
work with a blank screen waiting for user input.  I'm willing to do about
anything to show *kewlness* on the part of Linux around here... heh, heh,
heh....
