[wplug] Gnome crashes under X4.0.2

[David G Matthews]

The problem turned to be the screensaver.  I disabled the screensaver, and
everything seems to be working just fine.  Library conflicts sounds right.
Lack of a screensaver isn't a big deal to me, since I have a "green"
monitor that goes to sleep anyway.  Thanks for the help, all.
