wow, I actually found one! :)
I'm on a DS 5000/133 greyscale, and I have found a bug in the x server
that causes xscreensaver to do something funny...  when you take a
window (I've been using zephyrgrams) and overlap a xscreensaver in the
following way:  (screensaver on bottom)

      -----------
      |         |
      |         |-------
      -----------      |
          |            |
          --------------

and then move into the xscreensaver window, the border comes up in the
screensaver button and WRITES INTO THE WINDOW ON TOP OF IT.  

Real cool effect.  It causes a black residue when it erases the
border...

Anyway, xscreensaver shouldn't be allowed to draw outside of its
screen, right? 

Thanks.
