How do I disable gnome-screensaver?
How do I permanently disable gnome-screensaver? I use Xscreensaver for my screensaver needs. I created a startup application command for the Xscreensaver to start, but the gnome-screensaver has to be stopped before X can start. Gnome isn't on the startup list. Is there a config file that I can edit? I am using Ubuntu 10.04.
Thanks!

Open System -->Preferences -->Screensaver and untick "Activate Screensaver when idle"
Set the idle time to maximum for good measure.
You should also go into power management and set it to never put the monitor to sleep, unless that is what you really want to happen. That's not a very 'green' option however.
Alternately you can probably remove the screensaver from your system completely by un-installing it:
sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver

Scroll down to 'No screensaver in GNOME 3.2'.

Skip #2 it's meant for 11.10.

I just zapped it in Synaptic Package Manager. I hadn't thought about trying to remove parts of Gnome. Thanks!

Thanks Chris, that solved my question.
to just disable the gnome-screensaver without removing it. Using the dconf editor and change the following options
org.gnome.
org.gnome.
org.gnome.
org.gnome.
Careful: in 17.10 with the Budgie DE the suggested command #1 to remove the Gnome Screensaver will also remove your desktop.
