I would assume (bad thing to do) that the reason he wants it as a screensaver is that it would not then be running unless the screensaver is running (and the machine is idle) Like I said, I'm not sure if you can run it as a screensaver. Someone else mentioned a KDE screensaver, in the meantime. My collegue next to me uses the screensaver in windows because "it looks cool." - so it doesn't matter to him weather it is the screensaver or the graphics output full screen. Different strokes for different folks...
I am not aware that you can do that in the linux version. What you want to do is to specify a 'nice' level.... I run mine with ./setiathome -nice 2 -verbose > <name of a log file> I use -nice 19 It still runs as fast as with the default (-nice 1), but it backs off quite a bit quicker when you want to do other stuff like play quake3 or watch a DVD!
I'm going to check out that KDE screensaver though. Hans
