   It's called "Blackout". From the first few lines of the readme file:   
      
   ======================================================================   
   This file is part of the Blackout screen saver. v1.00 1996-06-29

   ======================================================================   
      
   So, 15 years old, but works fine. Blackout certainly puts the monitors   
   to sleep. Whether it uses a full screen session to do so, I don't know.   
   I do know that I otherwise had no full screen sessions with focus going.

   Didn't even think to look, but indeed there is (in popuplog.os2, that   
   is). Nice call.
