Thanks for your replies I tried running the migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh but this is complaining that there is no XSLT file which is not really present when i searched using slocate database ( i have already built it).
I read through the internet listings and could get convinced that it is better to use gnome-screensaver rather than xscreensaver. The only thing now i am wondering is how to import the xscreensaver screensaver .xml files into the gnome-screensaver .desktop files so that gnome-screensaver shows all the screensaver xscreensaver shows. Anybody had this kind of issue before ?
