Yes, the hook into XScreensaver is damn nice, but is only present in 8.1. Those of us who still have machines running at are SOL for now. Apparently 8.0 doesn't have the correct libs to do this and no one is going to make pkgs to update it so that it can. :/
I really like some of the GL screensavers that KDE 3.1 can use now..they are SO much nicer then those silly Windows ripoffs. ;)
-- You can still use xscreensaver while running KDE even without KDE 3.1 or Suse 8.1. Xscreensaver comes with Suse 8.0. Just disable the KDE screensaver, run "xscreensaver-demo" (w/out quotation marks) to set up xscreensaver the way you want it, and then edit your .xinitrc file to add "xscreensaver &" (no quotes) to the area it designates for adding your own commands..
