[openbox] auto-starting xscreensaver

[Das]

Oh forgot to mention, COOL LOL, we run Openbox how much cooler do we need
to be? hehe... ;)

Yeah I hear ya, someone wants their flying tux all over the screen, well I
personally like to make my hardware last and running the screen saver will
wear it out faster, so I'll stick to my cool black screen of nothingness
and make my hardware last and keep my electric bill down too...

Hey even Ubuntu thought it was cool to have a black bootup screen with
nothing, just kidding...

Hmm I always thought in Societies black was cool, hehe... ;)

Oh and being different in my book is way cooler, so sleeping the monitor is
cooler, especially since most of the computer noobs out there don't even
know what it is...


CHEERS
