From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021214 Description of problem: The PI of my project (a JHU professor) was in a meeting in his office this morning and xscreensaver came on in phosphor mode. All parties were very surprised to see it display something about midgets sodomizing cats. It seems that the phosphor screensaver uses the zippy fortune by default. This should be changed. I think a more professional default choice would be literature fortunes. This is *very* important in business and education environments. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start xscreensaver in phosphor mode Actual Results: Fortunes that are inappropriate in a professional environment. Expected Results: Nice, safe, inoffensive fortunes. Additional info:
I agree with this assessment, and I had thought that this was addressed a long time ago (Red Hat 5 era).
This is fixed in the current rawhide packages.
