WHere and what line of code do i need to start the screensaver dameon....xscreensaver is already installed but windowmaker never starts the dameon.

Do i put it in the .xinitric file?

xscreensaver &

although this is probably better

xscreensaver -no-splash &

If you want it to load when you load your window manager, then add that line to your startup file before exec windowmanager

Your startup file is probably .xinitrc if you use startx or .xsession if you have a graphical log in program such as xdm.
