[aclug-L] Re: Stupid/Petty question re screen savers

[james l <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

KDE does something to screensavers. They were/are standard xscreensaver 
programs. KDE uses customized screensavers. (Can someone explain what they do 
aside from make them executable?)
GNOME on the other hand, uses simply xscreensaver, to do screensavers. So it 
can run the standard screensavers. (Type xscreensaver to customize it without 
GNOME's control program. This allows either a non-GNOME user or a GNOME user 
to setup/start/change the screensaver.)
I haven't gotten xscreensaver to work with KDE (some of xscreensaver's 
savers? are great), but I run the 2.0 betas.
