Ted, I'm sorry, but I did not understand your message. I'm a retired programmer of over 20 years, but never worked with Unix or Linux, so some of your terms are obscure to me. In particular, your use of the term "hack" is unclear to me.
I understand your message to say you have changed the source package name from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver, and you have removed yourself as the person assigned to work on it. Is this correct? The fact that this bug, along with the difficulties in rendering several other screensaver modules, showed up with the arrival of Feisty last April, and given the severity of its effects, I would have thought it would have been reasonably easy to identify and correct, but that was apparently not true. This is only about the second communication I have received in almost a year that is directly related to bug 106060. Apparently it was not deemed serious enough to merit fixing right away, based on the severity alone. That tells me the people who would work on it must have more important things to work on, or to much to work on, or there are too few workers. Anyway, if you could confirm my interpretation, or correct it, I'd appreciate it.
