This is not a "bug" is a real bug. I decided to set the slideshow screensaver, and what a surprise! there's no way to say it where the... ahem... where is placed the folder with my images to be shown.

Don't say it's not critical, at some workplaces the screensaver must show something related to workplace rules..

So we need to configure it... and i need my slideshow screensaver working or at least tell me where's the config file to edit it manually... (it's really weird a simplified thing forced me to go to old-way edition...)
