    Hi,

    I know that many messages have been posted to this list regarding
    screensavers. I did install the two extra xscreensaver packages that
    are needed to add more screensavers once I saw this advice on the
    list. However, I couldnt find anything that specifically was like the
    situation that I am having.

    Once I installed these, they work fine in Gnome, but they don't work
    in KDE and I'm sorry, but I'm a KDE user and the expanded list of
    screensavers doesn't work in KDE.

    I don't understand why Fedora had to go and change the screensavers
    that were installed as part of FC3. It seems with every new release
    of Fedora, there are more little quirks that have to be overcome to
    get my system back the way it was before the new release. Don't get
    me wrong. I love Fedora. However, when a new release is issued, I
    tend to install fresh rather than doing an upgrade and it's just
    frustrating when I can't immediately get things back the way I had
    them before the new install.

    Any direction here would be appreciated.

    Regards,

    Colleen
