Is there any working screensaver for seti with linux/kde. I can't find one. that seems to be kind of pitiful given the number fo open source geniuses we have.

For your 1st question you need to set an environment variable to point to your chosen browser ie export BROWSER=/opt/mozilla/mozilla
I amended the shortcut to boincmgr to something like this
export BROWSER=/opt/mozilla/mozilla; cd /home/boinc; boincmgr


I know this is a dumb question but how do I set an environment variable?

I run the Boinc manager and specify setiathome when it asks for url--- so far so good- I become attached and it appears to be downloading a work unit?--- Anyway, every time I click on BOINC menu- " YOUR ACCOUNT" or "Preferences" or whatever I get error message "Must specify default browser..etc" then am directed to seti/home.php - there is no where on this pref list to specify a browser.
Also- when I close BOINC and try to open again I have to respecify URL to attach to..I need BOINC for dummies!!!
