One option's tip is "Change screensaver preferences". A duplicate below it reads "Set screensaver." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the 2007.0 i686 live cd. 2. Look for screensaver preferences in the menu. 3. See two screensaver preference links, with different tip strings.
This is probably more of a GNOME bug than a problem with the LiveCD itself. GNOME team, can you verify that this is a general GNOME problem and not something specific to the LiveCD?
One probably comes from /usr/share/applications/gnome-screensaver-preferences.desktop which is the correct Screensaver entry that launches gnome-screensaver prefs, and one probably comes from /usr/share/applications/screensaver-properties.desktop, which is the Screensaver enrty for configuring xscreensaver and comes from the xscreensaver package. The xscreensaver entry used to not be installed if USE=-gnome for xscreensaver - there is a note to that effect in gnome-screensaver as ewarn's. It seems xscreensaver-5.02 now installs the desktop entry regardless. The solution of -gnome USE on xscreensaver to avoid duplicate entry is quite weird anyhow, and as such we need to find a proper solution, whatever it be. We have discussed this problem on IRC in the past, but I don't find a bug filed about that, so this one can serve as one :) I believe that the LiveCD media should be built with xscreensaver USE=-gnome (a package.use entry, not a global USE flag change) if it sports only a GNOME desktop environment out of graphical ones.

Eh, we can't really do that. We need to stick as close to the profile USE as possible so the installer can do what it needs to do for "GRP" properly.
Right. Basically, this is two bugs. One, belongs to xscreensaver and needs to be fixed. The second, belongs to Release Engineering and needs to be fixed in the next release. Is there a bug already for the xscreensaver thing?
Xfce needs the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications as per f.d.o specification but I have *zero* idea what the USE gnome in xscreensaver ebuild does, feel free to punt it..
xscreensaver-5.04/driver/screensaver-properties.desktop.in is doing, _Name=Screensaver _Comment=Change screensaver properties and the prefixed with _ lines are translated during the build from po/ so we can't really go and change it's name either.. but according to http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ar01s03.html#desktop-entry-extensions-examples we could add: NotShowIn=GNOME; to the desktop file which would make it invisible for gnome users.. or release could use this as workaround.
fixed..
Ehh... not until we get a new release out with this in it...
This has been updated in the release snapshot SVN tree...
This should be fixed in 2008.0
