Description Sebastian Breier 2007-11-03 08:14:30 UTC 
Last time the screensavers-personal-slideshow ran (a screensaver that shows pictures from "~/Bilder", which is something like "~/Pictures" in English), I saw some pictures that I don't really want people to see; This was the first time I became aware of the existence of this screensaver. The images that were shown lie in a hidden directory in my images folder.

I request that this screensaver doesn't traverse hidden directories when looking for images to show. Hidden directories are hidden for a reason. :-)

This is actually not a duplicate of bug 481090. Bug 481090 is about showing all images in $HOME, this is about showing images in hidden folders under $HOME/Pictures. I am not able to reproduce bug 481090 with gnome-screensaver 2.20.0 on Ubuntu Gutsy, but I am able to reproduce this.

Committed this with a change to make the hidden case a shortcut out instead of indenting the entire block.  Thanks.
