Description Russell Knighton 2007-02-13 12:08:13 UTC 
/usr/share/doc/gnome-screensaver-2.16.2/xss-conversion.txt currently has the paragraph:

"You must copy the desktop files into /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes (cp
*.desktop /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes), and the executables into
/usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver."

The path appears to have been changed for 2.6.12, and also I'd like to include the path to the xscreensaver binaries to save on bug reports like #165146:

"You must copy the desktop files into /usr/share/applications/screensavers (cp
*.desktop /usr/share/applications/screensavers), and the xscreensaver executables into /usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver (cp /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/* /usr/libexec/gnome-screensaver)."


Reproducible: Always

I really wish you could correct typos.

To clarify: This is gnome-screensaver-2.16.2 (not 2.6.12 as in the bug report)
Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2007-05-25 20:36:03 UTC 
Should be fixed for 2.16.3 and newer. Thanks!
