Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
In 5.10's xscreensaver, there was a checkbox for 'Use actual screenshot in screensavers'; this is missing entirely from gnome-screensaver's GUI, and it makes a number of the screensavers (Distort, AntSpotlight, Mirrorblob, and a large number of others) use the ugly multi-colour "test pattern" default instead of the user's actual desktop. Like the butchering of xchat into xchat-gnome, I'm afraid this is another "Gnome must have a simple UI" attempt gone too far... ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- No way to use actual desktop screenshot in g-s's screensavers https://launchpad.net/bugs/49434 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
