Got my hands on the matrix screensaver.
I put KMatrix.desktop in /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers.
Control center does not pick it up until I create the link in /usr/share/applnk-mdk-simplified/.hidden/ScreenSavers
In works than, but later on (few days later the link
dissappears). All those links there get recreated. By what process?
How do I make this permanant?
I keep having to recreate this link manually.
I apologize for giving you this answer, but I have to tell you that I have no idea how Mandrake works.
Editorial (:-)):
This is an unfortunate situation where the three major "Linux" distros have been modified to the point that there is some question if they are really Linux, and they have modified the menu system for KDE to the point that it is now the disto's menu system.
So, this is a Mandrake issue and I would suggest that you ask on a Mandrake list or newsgroup.
All I can tell you is that the Screen Saver code in KDE has changed a lot over the last few versions and there have been some minor glitches.
I would suggest that it might help if you installed the Mandrake RPM for the XScreenSavers rather than trying to do it yourself by hand
One tip: Some recent versions of KDE appear to need:
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver
{your system's path may be different}added to your path for them to work. NOTE: previous versions where KAppFinder installed them didn't need this.
