[mythtv-users] How to disable screen blank/screensaver on MythBuntu 10.04?

My remote front end keeps going off and blanking the screen or
starting up a screensaver when Mythwelcome or Mythfrontend is running
and often locks up so it has to be rebooted.

I have tried googling, but... there's either not enough information or
too much to sift through.  Here's hoping someone here can point me in
the right direction.

I am running the default xfce desktop, not gnome, kde, ...

I tried just commenting out the xscreensaver invocation in the
/etc/xfce... path -- can get exact location if needed -- but it still
went to a blank screen.

I haven't even figured out yet what does the screen blanking.

How do I either train these two functions to stay asleep when
Mythwelcome and/or Mythfrontend are running _no matter what_ or stop
them from ever running?

Craig.
