I saw the same three at first, but after doing all the updates they all appeared correctly. In the event that you havent been following this thread. All of the screensavers showed up for me as well though I could not tie their appearance to an update. I believe that something changed because I was attempting to resolve the problem maybe something I did fixed the -not showing up problem(wish I knew what it was). However just because they show up dosent mean that they can be used. My post from several days ago deliniated as precisely as I could what was wrong and while the screensaver that I wanted 'slide show' could not be configured to display good images( which have been used with several screensavers in different disto's. RH, Debian, and Gentoo to name some. ) Please refer to attached for the original. Any Ideas are welcome. Regards; Hoyt ---BeginMessage--- I have a problem the last time I brought this question up I had 4 screensavers listed in KDE control center. This morning I was chasing a different problem and was in the following directory with konq: /usr/share/applnk/settings/LookNFeel which had an item 'screensavers.desktop' which of course I clicked on. Up popped a configuration panel like the one in control center and it listed a hole bunch of screensavers, not to look a gift horse etc. I clicked on 'slide show' and could not find any images. I went to control center and the screensavers had the same list, so I tried again to configure 'slide show' and could not get any images. In case you are thinking I should load some images. ls -la / drwxr-xr-x 2 root users size date/time screensavers cd screensavers ls -la * -rwxr-xr-x hoyt users size date name there are 122 listed.
