Now, I'll admit, I'm a long-time user of BOINC and SETI@home (before that), and I've got more than a few years' deep computer technology experience...but I'm confused by the "BOINC Screensave Configuration" options in v6.10.56. These are accessed in Windows from the "Display" | "Screen Saver" options.

What do the four fields mean, and where are they documented?

Does "Never" mean the same as "Do not limit time?" on that screen, or does it mean "Never run this feature?"

What is the relationship between "Run BOINC screensaver for" and "Run project screensaver for"? What if BOTH are set to, say, "1 hr"?

What is the relationship among all but the first of the four options? Which has priority in evaluation? What would happen if all of them are set to "Never?"
