Thanks everyone for your help with this.  Right now we have our test box 
set up with a brute force method (remove xscreensavers and tell gnome 
not to complain about it).  Our terminals have built-in screensavers 
that kick in anyway so the xscreensaver stuff isn't necessary (and was 
actually causing problems).  Thanks a million for all of the ideas.
