Hi, I was thinking on this bug 2 days ago. There's 2 ways to work this: * Add the `.desktop' files and from that let that gnome-screensaver works. * Make a separate package for `hacks' and `hacks-gl' (this last should really not be so needed since `-gl' it's only hacks...) including the `.desktop' files. I was going to work on this (the second one) this coming week but I don't know if I'm going to travel and have constant connection so if you work in some patch during this time and is mostly OK I will have no problem to use it ;).
