Update:
After extensive editing and more than a wee bit of cussin' I decided to start from scratch with xscreensaver.
I removed the earlier .dsl version that I've been working with and used apt-get to install the almost latest version.
The latest Debian version is 4.16 and the latest version of the source is 4.18. Anyhow, the 4.16deb package has now been running for about 2 hours with out a single 'hiccup".
So, from this I would conclude that the earlier version that I was using didn't install properly since I was unable to access the GUI (and I now can).
If you are planning on using xscreensaver *and* you are operating from a hdd install of DSL, you are probably best served to either use apt-get or synaptic to install the screensaver.
IF you're running from RAM, then the dsl extension may be a better option. Although there are newer versions of xscreenaver around. And I still favor editing the XscreenSAver-nog file directly over the GUI.
And BTW, one of the previously unseen screensavers looks like the desktop is melting! WOW, I've got to get my meds adjusted.:p
