Good grief, I've just noticed that people are still complaining about
this bug! Clearly, they're not going to fix it, as they've decided that
that's the way it should be. Move on, folks, I ditched most of the UI
aspects of Gnome ages ago, they became increasingly dumbed-down and
unusable for me. Clearly the Gnome people are very happy with them, and
the libraries are good, so just pick and choose and use something more
suitable, after all this fundamental choice is one of the more
conspicuous advantages of OSS - you don't *need* to get upset with
someone's braindead approach when they clearly have ideological issues
with changing it, because *you're not locked in to using it*. Life's far
too short to bother with trying to change the mind of the gnome
screensaver people, particularly as they haven't budged in what, four
years? C'mon folk - *they* like it s dumb as possible. Fork the project,
or just use something else like the rest of the world, total waste of
time filing bug reports because they *really* *don't* *want*
screensavers to be in any way configurable, (nor, apparently, do they
believe anyone speaks or should speak anything but English, per Michael
Nagel's comment, above.)

*I* happen to think they're being idiots about this, but I feel I'd be
the bigger idiot for wasting my time harping on at them when their mind
is clearly and immovably made up on the subject.

The fix for this bug is simple: Use a different screensaver.
