Logging in from another machine via SSH reveals Xorg is chewing a whole CPU core of processor time, and has to be forceable killed (kill -9). Unless I disable GDM, killing Xorg just results in another Xorg being started and doing exactly the same thing.

So I can't change the screensaver selected which means I can't leave the system unattended for more than 10 minutes. (Yes, I could delete the user, but I'd rather not do that).
