Description of problem:
The xmountains RPM that Red Hat distributes was not built with -DVROOT. 
This means that it does not work with xscreensaver: instead,
it just draws on the root window.

You should recompile it with vritual-root support so that it works
as a screen saver too.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "xmountains -b -M -Z 0 -r 1" via xscreensaver
2.
3.
