Hi All, For a while I was looking for how to get gnome-screensaver (gnome-2.14) to use xscreensaver hacks. Well, I never found out anything, so I wrote this script to convert the xscreensaver xml files to gnome-screensaver .desktop files. Just run it like this: $ xs2gs.pl /path/to/xscreensaver-files/ tmp/
then when you're happy with all the files in /tmp, copy them to /path/to/gnome-screensaver-files/ That's usually /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/ for the xscreensaver hacks, and /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/ for the gnome-screensaver files. If your favourite hack doesn't work, let me know and I may get around to working on it :) save this as xs2gs.pl enjoy :) -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. -- Al Capone [Also attributed to Johnny Carson.
