Have you already decided how to tackle the "how can xscreensaver hacks
packages be dropped in simply" problem I outlined in one of my last
posts?
I've already messed around with adding hacks to
/usr/X11R6/lib/app-defaults/XScreensaver (in the course of packaging
rss-glx for Fedora) and this is neither fun and nor reliable ;-) -- you
need to deal with any of {xscreensaver base package,random xscreensaver
extra hacks package} being {installed,removed,updated}. I'd vote very
much for some /etc/xscreensaver/hacks.d directory where extra hacks
pacvkages can simply drop their configuration.
