Ok, thanks, I'll try that again.  The last time I tried this with the
terminal program, it didn't work.  And yep, just tried it in gnome with
gnome terminal, and it doesn't work.  Very annoying since the majority
of my time is spent in this program.  This doesn't surprise me as
cntrl-c can be used in programs like pico to show the line number, so I
can kind of see how it would not be good to set this up as a shortcut
key combo with terminal.

Well, I'd just like to restress that this isn't just an X thing - it
happens when my box is just at the console login, so I don't think
editing the Xconfig settings will help, am I right?  I thought it would
be the apmd service, but that apparently isn't it.  As far as my screen
saver goes, I do think the app used to display them is fairly buggy, but
it works for me - when I can tell it's running before my monitor goes
black that is.  I really wish I knew how to make it stop doing that....
