From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 Fedora/2.0.0.14-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Description of problem: in the kde screensaver configuration dialog all of the rss-glx entries appear and can be configured but they never run, the mini preview screen is blank as is the fullscreen preview. i suspect the possibility that kde is looking in the wrong location/filename for the executable files since they are all named rss-glx-<name> which was not always the case in previous releases. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rss-glx-0.8.1.p-17.fc8, rss-glx-kde-0.8.1.p-17.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rss-glx-kde and rss-glx 2. open configure desktop->screensaves 3. attempt to use screensaver by clicking and attempting to preview Actual Results: nothing, black preview Expected Results: screensaver should have run in mini preview and fullscreen preview Additional info: have not tested in standard screensaver mode but i have no reason to suspect that it would run.
The fix will probably need to happen in rss-glx
Fwiw, last I checked, these all worked for me. ??
Actually, I think the issue is in the -kde package. If you look at the .desktop files, they say things like Exec=biof whereas the executables in rss are more like /usr/bin/rss-glx-biof So probably all of the -kde .desktop files need to be edited to add the rss- prefix to the executable.
rss-glx-0.8.1.p-20 which contains a fix for this problem is building for F7, F8, F9, Rawhide.
