xscreensaver & kde

mstamat · Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 10:00 am Post subject: xscreensaver & kde

In my gentoo box, after emerging kde only a few screensavers were available. Then I emerged xscreensaver and the same few screensavers are still available.

How can I make all the screensavers included in xscreensaver appear in kde too?

Thanks!

You have to re-emerge kdeartwork with the USE xscrennsaver set

Hmmmm.... Re-emerging puts the right .desktop files in /usr/kde/3.3/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers. But the menu still shows the same screensavers. As root (where I have not configured all the details of KDE) I deleted all .kde directories. After starting X, all screensavers appeared.

So to make all screensavers appear in kde desktop, I guess I have to delete some config file in my .kde dir. But which one? I don't want to lose all my settings.

Thanks again!

Glad I found, this had the same trouble, the steps in this thread cleared it right up.

Thanks!
