The explanation for this decision is made in he > upstream FAQ: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver_2fFrequentlyAskedQuestions Thanks Jeff. A quote from that page: ---------- Why doesn't the screensaver preferences tool allow me to change the settings for the theme? We are trying to take a different approach. We would prefer for the themes to simply work. [...] There are a few reasons for this approach. One of them is to simplify the UI and make it easier for the user. Another reason is so that system administrators can more easily control (or lock down) the settings. ---------- Personally, I think the Gnome developers' know-it-all attitude is stupid and offensive. Dang it! They take their bloody "present no options to the users" too far! Idiots! I keep wanting Gnome to be great, but this Ximian attitude and design approach keeps fouling the desktop experience. ARGH! They are _breaking_ screensavers. Miles -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
