During the merge phase of the ebuild, the following issue is reported: " * Unable to add these to XScreenSaver configuration * This should not happen. Please file a bug" It also appears that because of this, the screensavers fail to run from KDE's screen saver configuration utility (they all show up, but one of them work). Here is the full output of the merge phase: >>> Merging x11-misc/rss-glx-0.8.1-r4 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/lib/ --- /usr/lib/misc/ >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/ >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/biof >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/flux >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/colorfire >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/cyclone >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/lattice >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/fieldlines >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/rss-glx_install.pl >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/matrixview >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/busyspheres >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/hufo_tunnel >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/flocks >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/helios >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/euphoria >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/hufo_smoke >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/sundancer2 >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/plasma >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/solarwinds >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/hyperspace >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/skyrocket >>> /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/spirographx >>> /usr/lib/libImplicit.a >>> /usr/lib/libImplicit.la >>> /usr/lib/librsMath.a >>> /usr/lib/xscreensaver/ >>> /usr/lib/librsMath.la --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ >>> /usr/share/doc/rss-glx-0.8.1-r4/ >>> /usr/share/doc/rss-glx-0.8.1-r4/README.bz2 >>> /usr/share/doc/rss-glx-0.8.1-r4/README.xscreensaver.bz2 --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/share/man/man1/helios.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/hufo_smoke.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/spirographx.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/skyrocket.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/lattice.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/solarwinds.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/fieldlines.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/colorfire.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/euphoria.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/biof.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/flux.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/cyclone.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/hufo_tunnel.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/plasma.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/sundancer2.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/flocks.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/busyspheres.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/man/man1/matrixview.1.bz2 >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/ >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/ >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/fieldlines.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/biof.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/sundancer2.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/hufo_smoke.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/colorfire.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/plasma.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/busyspheres.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/hufo_tunnel.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/helios.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/skyrocket.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/cyclone.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/solarwinds.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/euphoria.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/flocks.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/lattice.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/spirographx.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/hyperspace.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/matrixview.xml >>> /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/flux.xml --- /usr/share/applications/ >>> /usr/share/applications/hufo_smoke.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/busyspheres.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/cyclone.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/solarwinds.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/flux.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/lattice.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/matrixview.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/colorfire.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/hufo_tunnel.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/plasma.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/sundancer2.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/fieldlines.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/spirographx.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/hyperspace.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/biof.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/euphoria.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/helios.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/skyrocket.desktop >>> /usr/share/applications/flocks.desktop >>> /usr/lib/xscreensaver/config -> /usr/share/control-center/screensavers * Unable to add these to XScreenSaver configuration * This should not happen.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge rss-glx 2. Observe last 8 lines of output 3. Right click desktop in KDE and select "Configure Desktop" 4. Select "Screen Savers" from the options on the left 5. Select one of the rss-glx screen savers, such as "Busy Spheres (GL)" 6. Click "Test" 7. Observe that nothing happens Actual Results: rss-glx ebuild reports errors while updating XScreenSaver configuration and no screen savers work through regular configuration options in KDE Expected Results: rss-glx should properly update the XScreenSaver configuration and should properly be displayed when selected in KDE's screen saver configuration control.

It's unclear to me which version of KDE we are talking about..
(In reply to comment #3) > It's unclear to me which version of KDE we are talking about.. > 3.5.9
rss-glx-0.9.0 in portage, dropped KDE3 support from it entirely, sorry i'm intrested in knowing how this works for KDE4 though, so i'm ready to add support for it in stable after 30 days
