Description Andrew D. Stadler 2006-05-18 19:11:41 UTC
Description of problem:

The screensaver selection panel (System -> Preferences -> Screensaver) seems to have lost the ability 
to edit the unique preferences/settings of each screensaver.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-screensaver-2.14.1-1.fc5.1

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Installed the extras screensavers package 
2.  Open System -> Preferences -> Screensaver
  
Actual results:

3.  Note that you can select individual screensavers but you cannot set preferences for them

Expected results:

3.  In older FC versions, XScreenSaver supported "Settings..." button for each screensaver.

This is a a major annoyance that was introduced as a "feature" in GNOME 2.12.

It's an upstream bug which was filed nearly a year ago.  The uppstream developer
has marked it "RESOLVED - WONTFIX". If anyone else can fix it many users would
greatly appreciate it.

Hi guys,

we're going to go with upstream on this one.
