Title: Pictures folder: --location requires absolute path Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-screensaver” source package in Lucid: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver As I understand it, gnome-screensaver detects if ~/Pictures exists and if so loads photos for a slideshow from there. However, this does not seem to work on my system. If I create ~/Pictures and put photos in it, nothing shows up. I was able to get it to work by editing /usr/share/applications/screensavers/personal- slideshow.desktop and set Exec as follows: Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver/slideshow --location=/home/bryce/Pictures I could not get --location=Pictures nor --location=~/Pictures to work, so I believe the issue to be that relative directories are not being handled properly.
