Currently we seem to have three different screensaver capplets -- the
old one in stable, Jamie's that ships with xscreensaver, and the new one
in gnome-control-center. There are a couple issues here that need
sorting out, if possible.
1) We want to have just one capplet with GNOME 2. My inclination is to
use the one in gnome-control-center, though I'm a little
uncomfortable with the fact it depends on ETable. It's sort of
unfortunate that a major component of GNOME depends on an unstable
library. This needs resolving by GNOME 2.0.
2) the --window-id option recently disappeared, meaning there is
currently no way to embed a preview of the screensaver. I feel like
this is a really nice feature to have, though jamie claims it's
always been broken. It would be nice to have this feature. Jamie,
what can we do here?
3) Jamie's had some objections to the original one -- mostly to do with
the fact that you could only pick one at a time. The current one has
five modes, which is pretty nice. (As a refresher -- the modes are:
No Screensaver, Blank Screen, One Screensaver at a time, Random (all
screensavers), and Random (select some screensavers).) Jamie, do you
have other objections here?
4) Currently, we need to keep the list of hacks that ship with the
control-center in sync with the hacks in xscreensaver. It would be
really nice to consolidate these somewhere.
Thanks,
-Jonathan
