Not a huge problem, but this just annoys me:

I want to change the screen saver timout to, say, 60 minutes. 5 is way to short. But when i go to the screen saver config section i get an error. And if i change anything, it still uses the same old settings. This is what the error says:
Warning:

xscreensaver-demo: 17:52:13 is running as user "root" on host "localhost.localdomain".
But the xscreensaver managing display ":0.0" is running as user "nobody" on host "localhost.localdomain".

Since they are different users, they won't be reading/writing the same ~/.xscreensaver file, so xscreensaver-demo: 17:52:13 isn't going to work right.

You should either re-run xscreensaver-demo: 17:52:13 as "nobody", or re-run xscreensaver as "root".

Restart the xscreensaver daemon now?

[Ok] [Cancel]
I know it says to
either re-run xscreensaver-demo: 17:52:13 as "nobody", or re-run xscreensaver as "root".
but how would i do that?

Any help is appreciated.
