Good idea - I'll see if my hardware supports it. 

I may be tempting fate here by mentioning it before having done much testing, 
but I *seem* to have bypassed the problem by disabling the screen saver. I 
neglected to say earlier that I am running a KDE desktop, so it *may* be the 
VIA Unichrome video driver causing the problem.
