Try those:
Default
dwrite Value Comments
---------------------------------------------
TimeToDim 2040 - in 1/68th of a second (i.e. 60 seconds)
MovementTimeout 300 - in seconds, I have 5
MovementRate 0.0666 - seems to be the rate it redraws, 0.0333 seems good
MovementScale ? - pixels to loginwindow is moved, I have 5
MoveWhenIdle NO - Yes, to move
YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN AS ROOT TO PERFORM THESE dwrites!!!!!!!
