Hi -

I have always been under the impression that setting screen savers for
Citrix users was a bad idea, because of the unnecessary # of CPU cycles that
will be eaten up when a screen saver is running 20 or 30 times on a box.
But if a company wants the security of being able to set password protection
if a user is idle for 20 or 30 minutes in a citrix desktop, do you have to
enable screen savers?  The only option being to set up idle session
disconnects and have the users be forced to reconnect to their published
desktop from scratch?
