Does anyone have code for a screensaver for NeWS?  My environment is
NeWS 1.0 (but I hope to upgrade to NeWS 1.1 very soon) on Sun-3's
under SunOS 4.0.  By a screensaver, I mean something that monitors
keystrokes and mouse movements and blanks the screen if there has been
no activity for a set period of time.

On a somewhat different note, are specifications for the X11/NeWS
server to be incorporated in SunOS 4.1 available?  I can imagine how a
single server can merge the functions of an X server and a NeWS server
but I can't think of how a window manager is going to function if both
styles of windows can be displayed simultaneously.
