The message
xscreensaver: couldn't bind to port 32253: Address already in use
is not useful for most users. I just ran into a user who got this
message, so he ran xscreensaver again. And again. He was running six
xscreensavers. Is it reasonable to require an option for xscreensaver
to run if it can't bind the port? This would prevent this from
happening in the future. Also, make the message better. Perhaps:
xscreensaver: couldn't bind to port 32253: Address already in use
Are you already running xscreensaver?
