This is probably just a philosophical question... Why is it that Gnome seems to have so many more screen savers than KDE, and they are mostly much more eye-pleasing and interesting? I'm referring to what "comes with", rather than add-ons. Is it a philosophical choice by the KDE project to resemble Windows in that respect? Is it just that Gnome users, as a group, tend to be more in need of superficial amusement? <grin> Or is it inherently more difficult to code a nifty screensaver to work reliably with KDE? Just curious, really. I'm on vacation this week... :-) /kevin -- "DIRty DEEDS, and they're DONE dirt cheap." [Sing it with me, now...]
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . To me, KDE is more utilitarian/industrial than Gnome. There's no technical limitation. Used to be, Gnome was unstable and K was not. Not anymore though, it seems. - -- III aaam MONSTER! On Thursday 29 August 2002 06:19 am, you wrote:

Try xscreensaver and you will be surprised. I only used it by hand, yet. Don't know if it can replace the default one. Ruud
