After the latest xscreensaver version which includes this "feature", I now have xscreensaver being started when X is started no matter what user logs in. That is unacceptable since when I have mythtv logged in I specifically do not want a screensaver, and I already made sure I don't have one by using a custom .xsession. Now all of a sudden I have a screensaver being forced on me just by installing the xscreensaver pacakge (which is a nice screensaver to have, just not for all users with no way to disable it).
At the very least it should be possible to set an environment in the .xsession or similar to prevent xscreensaver from starting. Starting it without exception is not acceptable. Besides there are other screensavers out there that some users may choose to run instead (like the gnome and kde screensavers). I would prefer this bad change be reverted ASAP though. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
