they make use of the xscreensaver hacks, so I should leave that to
these other packages to figure it out for themselves.

And that will not be a problem any longer :)

I have already generalized the text some (in my own tree at least) but
I'll go over it and make it consistent, just mention "other
screensaver engines" or so.
