Please refrain from such antagonistic behaviour.

I think we can safely say RTFM and suggesting a fork are responses which
almost go without saying should be used only as a last resort, and perhaps
are less helpful than no
response at all.

If the submitter could be more specific about which exacty screensave he
wants to configure we might be able to sugges an alternative approach.
(The image slideshow screensaver might be an example of a screensaver
which really doesn't need to be configured.)
