Description Patrick Beeson 2003-04-16 05:38:12 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
I open screensaver from the control center and tried click Advanced to set up
Power info but the window disappears.  The same thing happens if you try to
choose any screensaver except the default Blank Screen.

I ran xscreensaver-demo and whne I click either of these, it seg faults.

This didn't happen in 8, only after upgrading from 8 to 9.  I got the
xscreensaver source and ran its ./configure which checks library and include
info, some things it wanted weren't installed so I stalled a bunch of
gth2-devel, libglide2, etc.  That didn't help.
