Perhaps you should file a bug report with detailed configuration information; I know a number of people that use kscreensaver without encountering the problems you mentioned. I do wish I could get the "sliding puzzle" screensaver to use the state of my deesktop when the 'saver starts as the puzzle, but all of the "desktop distortion"-style screensavers just use a stock "test image" instead of my desktop, here. :( -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss03@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/
