I guess this bug can be closed because Breezy is not supported anymore
and I think hardly anyone is upgrading from Breezy to Dapper anymore.
This bug doesn't exist in later releases, please report if it does by
any chance.

Status: Confirmed => Inval
In my case, my primary screensaver is "None" (blank screen). How hard
would it be to check for at least this case?
also, re: "touching user settings in a postinst of a package is a big
nono." While my settings may not have been touched in actuality, they
were effectively touched because I upgrad
touching user settings in a postinst of a package is a big nono

The solution with the least suckage is to get it in the gnome-screensaver
binary. That way, all distributions win, instead of us keeping around a
non-standard patch.
Anyway, it's not a hack. It's a migration tool. :)

yup i totally agree and thats what i meant above with "its trivial", but
would you do it with a permanent wrapper or with a hack to g-s-s ? i
think both is suboptimal ... but what sucks least ?

That is exactly the right thing to do!
Here's some pseudocode:
1. Check if /apps/gnome-screensaver has entries
2. If yes, carry on.
3. If no, look for .xscreensaver. If you find that, import as many entries as
you can into /apps/gnome-screensaver.
That's a total win for everybody.

still i think g-s-s rather should go on using gconf, so either a script
or an g-s-s code enhancement is needed to transfer the ~/.xscreensaver
settings into gconf, other apps rely on the fact that gconf is used for
settings in gnome-screensaver

We could also have gnome-screensaver do that. We don't need to patch gconf at
all.
William knows about xscreensaver and likely wants his application to replace it.

thats a good idea but sadly not as easy to implement as it sounds, you'd
need to patch gconf very intursively to achieve that

You could convince upstream to fall back on .xscreensaver if /apps
/gnome-screensaver is empty.

there is no relation between xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver settings
(thats exactly what this bug is about) conffile prompts on package
upgrades are unrelated here.

My screensaver settings were lost as well.
Breezy - Dapper upgraded through dist-upgrade 10 minutes ago...Note that
mid-install, I noticed that it paused because it said that configuration files
were changed... (didn't write down which ones, although I should have).
I chose the packager'
only some lines (3-5) of the ~/.xscreensaver file would be needed, converting
that would be trivial, but the way *how* to implement it is a bit tricky, i
dont want a permantent wrapper script around the screensaver daemon...

Doing a migration could be rather tricky.
What do you think, guys? Converting X resources to gconf keys?
