Description of Problem: Playing with screensavers via the gnome control centre. Selected forest, 'Try', and waited.. Forest: unrecognised option: -cycles Options include: -root, -window, -mono -install, -noinstall, -visual <arg>, -display <arg>, -ncolors <arg>. xscreensaver: child pid 20516 (forest) exited abnormally (code 1). man forest says there is a -cycles. I don't understand the way the /usr/share/control-center/.data/Forest.desktop file works, but perhaps it needs a number? Or it has one and doesn't need it? I didn't change any defaults, btw, I just selected it and 'try'.
This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
The manpage is fixed in xscreensaver-3.33-2. Assigning to control-center so the desktop file can be fixed.
fixed in rawhide.
