I choose the science screen saver. I see a preview on the little monitor in the dialog. the preview seems to start out all grey and as the whirl goes around, the desktop shows through. If I move the preview monitor off-screen and back, it's all grey and the whirl continues showing the desktop in it's trail. I click on the "test" button. The same thing happens. I click the ok button and lock the screen. Same thing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdeartwork-4.0.5-2.fc9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose the science screensaver 2. Make sure the "hide background" check box isn't checked. Actual Results: Initially the display is all grey. The whirl shows the desktop in it's trail. Expected Results: The desktop should be displayed with the whirl distorting it. Additional info:
