Description:   Opened: 2005-06-26 09:50 0000
RSS-GLX installs screensavers to /usr/lib/xscreensaver, which used to be
correct.
xscreensaver-4.22-r1 moved the hackdir to /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver, so
XScreenSaver cannot find any of the Really Slick Screensavers.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =x11-misc/xscreensaver-4.22-r1
2. emerge x11-misc/rss-glx
3. xscreensaver-command -prefs
4. Try to choose a RSS saver like Skyrocket or Hufo Smoke.
Actual Results:  
"Screensaver is not installed" is displayed in the preview box

Expected Results:  
RSS-GLX savers work as usual.

As far as I see it, there are three options.
1. A symlink can point /usr/lib/xscreensaver to /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver in
the newer xscreensaver ebuilds until everything is moved over.
2. All xscreensaver hack ebuilds can somehow detect which hackdir xscreensaver
uses (possibly based upon package versions)
3. rss-glx and other hacks can DEPEND on the latest xscreensaver ebuild and
hardcode the path into the ebuild.
