Description of problem: After installing Fedora 12 Beta I see two Screensaver entires under System->Preferences. Apparently one is for GNOME screensaver and one for X screensavers. However, for an ordinary user this is confusing especially when X screensavers ask something about starting/stopping services. Ideally these should be combined in one or at least renamed - having two identical entries look like a bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.10-2.fc12.i686 gnome-screensaver-2.28.0-1.fc12.i686 fedora-screensaver-theme-1.0.0-5.fc12.noarch xscreensaver-base-5.10-2.fc12.i686 xscreensaver-gl-base-5.10-2.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the packages mentioned above 2. See System->Preferences Actual results: Duplicate Screensaver entry Expected results: Single Screensaver entry Additional info:
gnome-screensaver should take care of this. It seems that gnome-screensaver-hide-xscreensaver.menu should be changed: Now xscreensaver-base has /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver-properties.desktop (note that I have not gnome-screensaver installed).
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

I too got the extra icon in the System -> Preferences menu after I installed some of the -extras packages: [kylev@freebie ~]$ rpm -qa | grep xscreensaver xscreensaver-extras-gss-5.10-6.1.fc12.1.x86_64 xscreensaver-base-5.10-6.1.fc12.1.x86_64 xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.10-6.1.fc12.1.x86_64 xscreensaver-gl-base-5.10-6.1.fc12.1.x86_64 xscreensaver-extras-5.10-6.1.fc12.1.x86_64 xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss-5.10-6.1.fc12.1.x86_64
This is still an issue with F13ß: when one just installs xscreensaver-base after the default Fedora installation, the two Screensaver entries are present in the menu.

Created attachment 425206 [details] Working file from F11.
An undocumented change to this file seems to be the problem: /etc/xdg/menus/preferences-post-merged/gnome-screensaver-hide-xscreensaver.menu According to the changelog for gnome-screensaver, this fix was added awhile ago: * Fri Sep 21 2007 Ray Strode <rstrode> - 2.20.0-3 - hide xscreensaver menu if gnome-screensaver is installed (bug 300401) The behavior was correct for me in Fedora 11 with gnome-screensaver-2.26.1-3.fc11.x86_64 Using the /etc/xdg/menus/preferences-post-merged/gnome-screensaver-hide-xscreensaver.menu provided by that package in F13 fixed the problem for me. From looking at the srpm for gnome-screensaver, that file is provided by fedora and not from upstream. I attached the working file to this bug (Working file from F11.) The change doesn't seem to be documented since I can't find any mention of it in the package changelog since it worked in version 2.26.1-3.

To be completely honest, I've removed gnome-screensaver and been using xscreensaver since this bug hit me; I actaully prefer xscreensaver, and would rather xscreensaver hide gnome-screensaver, rather than the other way around... Just saying.
