xFX: I thought you might like to know that the current version of gnome- screensaver can accept themes from ~/.local/share/applications/screensavers, as well as /usr/share/applications/screensavers. I've attached a hacked version of screensaver-settings, which modifies themes in this folder rather than in /usr/share/... . I'm not an experienced programmer, so it's kinda kludgy -- e.g, it can't create the directory ~/.local/share/applications/screensavers if it doesn't already exist -- but otherwise it seems to work more or less as expected, so it can persistently modify screensaver settings (per user) without root access.
It's really just a proof of concept, but it'd be nice to have something like this in the next version of screensaver-settings ** Attachment added: "screensaver-settings-0.3.0-modified.tar.bz2" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15200400/screensaver-settings-0.3.0-modified.tar.bz2 -- no 'Settings' button in gnome-screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
