Running QA:Testcase_desktop_menus for LXDE on F15 RC3, I notice there's no screensavers listed in xscreensaver (start / preferences / screensaver) at all, which makes the preferences applet mostly useless. Don't know if this is a bug in xscreensaver or just LXDE should have more packages on the spin or what.
I cannot spot any changes in the package but there were no changes in the spin regarding xscreensaver either.

"No screensaver listed in xscreensaver" means when you launch $ xscreensaver-demo, no screensaver hacks appear? (I don't understand currently what you mean by "(start / preferences / screensaver)"). Or you mean that "xscreensaver" entry does not appear in LXDE menu or so? Would you write in specific what you actually did and you actually saw?
The list of screensavers in xscreensaver-demo is empty.
Then what rpms are installed? (Would you tell me what "$ rpm -qa | grep xscreensaver" return?) ! Note that I don't know well about LXDE kickstart. I just saw http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=blob_plain;f=fedora-livecd-lxde.ks;hb=master but I don't understand currently how xscreensaver related packages are pulled in LXDE spin.
Um, now I found that comps-f15.xml has lxde-desktop: <packagereq type="default">xscreensaver-base</packagereq> so actually this is expected because actually xscreensaver-base has no hacks (screensavers). xscreensaver-base contains only the minimal files which is needed to make xscreensaver "daemon" work.
So what has changed between F14 and F15 then? F14 LXDE: $ rpm -qa | grep xscreensaver xscrensaver-base-5.12-5.fc14.i686 $ F15 LXDE: $ rpm -qa | grep xscreensaver xscrensaver-base-5.13-1.fc15.i686 $
Is it really sure that F-14 LXDE spin has some xscreensaver hacks installed by default?
You are right, sorry. I thought I looked it up, but in fact I compared to Xfce. It is definitely a problem with the spin, so I added xscreensaver-extras in http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=commit;h=5e3c998ac1542a295d9d54dae392c02fb89ec74c As this change will not happen in F15, I'll close this NEXTRELEASE.
