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. -- no 'Settings' button in gnome-screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
