[SOLVED] X seg fault while xscreensaver active

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue where I get a segmentation fault while my screen is locked using xscreensaver.  Though it doesn't seem to happen right away.  I'll lock my desktop, walk away to go to a meeting or something along those lines.  When I come back, my X session has been killed, and I'm back at the CLI. Here's some info:

Re: [SOLVED] X seg fault while xscreensaver active

I removed nouveau and installed the proprietary nvidia driver.  Seems to be working for now.  No issues so far. Don't know what the underlying cause was, though.
