Turn off your X screen saver. You don't need an X screen saver going
when your Windows screen saver is doing its job.
I've found that when the Windows screen saver is on, or I lock my screen
using win-L, and I have an X application running that is drawing to the
screen that my log will get filled with these messages. The X
screensaver is typically the culprit as it is very busy drawing stuff.
I have reported this problem here before, but it still persists (and I
haven't done anything to fix it myself, shame on me :-)
