Does anybody know where they are in F8? Which directory? The other question of course is whether gnome-screensaver can be dumped altogether (rpm -e gnome-screensaver) and only keep xscreensaver. Any ideas? I am replying to myself and perhaps helping someone else at the same time. The answer to the sparseness of gnome-screensaver is pretty simple as it turns out if you are on F8. Go to http://www.andreas-mueller.com/mrepo/f8-i386/RPMS.updates/repoview/xscreensaver.html and download xscreensaver-extras-gss-5.04-1.fc8.i386.rpm This package adds all the nice xscreensaver screens to gnome-screensaver. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ...
