Description Matthias Clasen 2007-03-31 02:43:56 UTC 
Here is a patch to make the slideshow screensaver use the
PICTURES folder from xdg-user-dirs when no explicit location has
been specified.

Turns out xdg_user_dir_lookup() falls back to $HOME if user-dirs are not set up,
and people don't like that. New patch fixes that.

Yeah Matthias!  Thanks for working on this.  As soon as I branch (soon) we'll get this in.

I'm going to have to be really anal and mark this as a dup...
