rdate runs xscreensaver

["David B. van Balen" <vanbalen mc edu>]

dunno if this is a problem with gnome, xscreensaver or what, please let me
know if this isn't the right place to submit it.
I've noticed that whenever I run rdate (e.g. 'rdate -sp time.nist.gov'),
it'll start my screensaver... very weird behaviour IMHO. It's happened
with both Mandrake 7 and Turbo 6 over several installs and only seems to
happen when rdate actually makes an update. Also, it's been a while, but I
don't remember this ever happening while I was using KDE... I'm not sure,
however, that I ever used KDE with those particular distro versions.

Any insight?
