forget? Since when is this needed and why doesn't "-stop-xscreensaver" work
for disabling xscreensaver?

... aha. Now I see in the 1.0rc5 changelog:

     * reworked screensaver disabling support, most users will need to use
       -heartbeat-cmd due to screensaver authors failing to design a common
       -API

I wonder if presence of xscreensaver couldn't be avoided the old way if its
present...
