Yup, this is a bit hairy, not easy to make a solution that is 100% without patching much of the original code. However in most cases, restricting it to /usr/lib/xscreensaver would fix the issue. There might be some cases where a program from another package can be used, but that can maybe be fixed by patching these individual cases in the app-defaults file. As upstream points out in the other report, the use of one app-defaults file but multiple hack collection packages complicates the issue. > > I'd like to help on this bug, and the 106 other ones. > Alexandre, That would be fantastic!
