I understand the thoughts of the author, but the ones who don't care so much about philosophy can do the following. For the slideshow screensaver, there's a little workaround: put symbolic links in your default picture directory. Also, you can modify the .desktop files in order to pass parameters to the screensaver. E.g. edit /usr/share/applications/screensavers/personal-slideshow.desktop at the line Exec=slideshow add a parameter: Exec=slideshow --location=/your/fav/pic/dir
It's dirty, you need super user rights, and you modify it for each user but it works. Well you could call a personalised script in order to call different parameters for each user. -- 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
