how to turn off the blank screen
since there is no screensaver (and I wish this was a feature that was included soon in an update) I have using the wallpaper to scroll thru some pics that I have, but the screen goes blank after 5 minutes. How do I turn that off?
using firefox 18.0.1 for ubuntu conical
Thank you
