Bug Description

Binary package hint: kscreensaver-xsavers

Since upgrading to Lucid Beta 1, noticed the following :

1/ I usually run the "Matrix-GL" screensaver in Ubuntu

2/ When "waking up from Matrix screensaver state", I often find myself seing another, random, saver from the xscreensaver package ?!?

3/ "ps" shows that I always have an xscreensaver process running:

# ps awx | grep saver
 2989 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/xscreensaver -nosplash

4/ I cannot determine what started this process (not in any "autostart" folder or the like) so I assume it's been started by the means of kscreensaver-xsavers ?

Thanks for your report. Is this still an issue with the latest xscreensaver packages?

I would say this is still an issue, I just saw this morning one of my Kubuntu Lucid machines with all updates applied display random xscreensavers for no understandable reason, and the machine I'm currently writing this on has a process "/usr/bin/xscreensaver -nosplash" running which I wouldn't expect to find as its KDE screensaver is set to pictures diaporama...

Swâmi, do you have xscreensaver 5.10-3ubuntu3? This is probably related to bug 554069.

Yes, I have xscreensaver 5.10-3ubuntu3 .

Thanks Tormod for pointing me to this, I believe the present bug is then a duplicate of bug 554069.
