+.B XFree86's Magic Keystrokes
+The XFree86 X server traps certain magic keystrokes before client programs ever
+see them. Two that are of note are Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, which causes
+the X server to exit; and Ctrl+Alt+F\fIn\fP, which switches virtual consoles.
+The X server will respond to these keystrokes even if xscreensaver has the
+screen locked. Depending on your setup, you might consider this a problem.
+
+Unfortunately, there is no way for xscreensaver itself to override the
+interpretation of these keys. If you want to disable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
+globally, you need to set the \fIDontZap\fP flag in
+your \fI/etc/X11/XF86Config\fP file. See the
+.BR XF86Config (5)
+manual for details.
+
+There is no way (as far as I can tell) to disable the VT-switching keystrokes.
+
+Some Linux systems come with a VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl, that one could
+theoretically use to prevent VT-switching while the screen is locked;
+but unfortunately, this ioctl can only be used by root, which means
+that xscreensaver can't use it (since xscreensaver disavows its privileges
+shortly after startup, for security reasons.)
+
+Any suggestions for other solutions to this problem are welcome.

.B XView Clients
Apparently there are some problems with XView programs getting confused
and thinking that the screensaver window is the real root window even when
mode (you can't do it in a window, and you can't see the output of 3D and 2D
programs simultaniously), and that 3D will probably drive your monitor at a
lower resolution, as well. It's bizarre.
+
+If you find that GL programs only work properly when run as root, and not
+as normal users, then the problem is that your \fI/dev/3dfx\fP file is not
+configured properly. Check the Linux 3Dfx FAQ.
