What were you trying to do?
        Run a dualheaded display in Xinerama mode

What's wrong:
        xlogin screensaver has a chunk left on the right hand screen
that's still blue

What should have happened:

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

The bug might be in /afs/dev.mit.edu/source/src-current/athena/etc/xlogin/

Xlogin.linux.presed:*savershell.geometry:               2000x2000+0+0

2000 pixels isn't wide enough for my 2 screen by 1280 (so 2560 pix
wide) dual head.  It seems to do the right thing when it's made wider.

Of course, I wouldn't know for sure if it fixes the bug, given the
many silly things inside xlogin (full moon mode!!!!!!) maybe making it
wider will make it break every 2000 full moons or something like that.
