From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; rv:0.8.1+) Gecko/20010426 For some reason, on one of my machines, xscreensaver always sets the screensaver to random, no matter what I do with gnomecc. However, when I set gnomecc to "no screensaver", that does work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Note that I can't reproduce this on my other machines. So I'm not sure what the cause is.
Do you have a ~/.xscreensaver file?
Yes indeed, and deleting appears to eliminate the problem. Perhaps gnomecc should check for this? I actually thought I had tried that...
Hm, possibly. In any case, it's not really an xscreensaver problem.
(although one could argue that you should use either xscreensaver-demo or the control-center capplet, but not both.)
Fixed in current xscreensaver, according to Bill.
