Description Karl Lattimer 2006-10-09 12:41:03 UTC
In the old gnome screensaver configuration box (which just ran xscreensaver) there was a way to select which screensavers you'd like used for random selection. This is a really nice feature as some of the screensavers from days gone by are so poor and boring in comparison to the really slick screensavers around these days. I miss this feature and some others from the old configuration dialog, but the interface is much snazier.

Thanks and I totally agree with you.  This is something that needs a bit of work.  The idea would be to remove those "poor and boring" ones from the list.
