How to force CDE screensaver to have only blank screen?

Thanks to:

First, RTFM. (sorry ! I forgot). There is an option in dtscreen that governs

the update intervals. Copy /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtscreen to

/etc/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtscreen and add a few 0's to all the *.delay fields.

An extension to the above is to set Dtscreen.mode to blank in Dtscreen and

remove the Screen in Dtstyle*componentList in Dtstyle (copy Dtstyle from

/usr/dt/app-defaults/C to /etc/dt/app-defaults/C first) This will give no

choice at all except blanking. Also, remember to edit out the

dtsession*saverList line in all the users' $HOME/.dt/sessions/{home|current}/

dt.resources to force the system defaults to be used.
