Package: chbg
Version: 1.5-9
Severity: normal
The program supports an -xscreensaver mode, which seems to work fine,
but no preview is available. The only reason for the preview failing
seems to be that xscreensaver uses -window-id to draw to the preview
window but chbg spells this without the hyphen. A ham-fisted fix is a
wrapper script as follows:
>>>in my_slideshow.sh
#!/bin/bash
#Process the args coming from xscreensaver-demo
args=( $( \
for a in $@ ; do if [ "$a" = '-window-id' ]; then echo '-windowid' ;
else echo $a ; fi ; done \
) )
#echo "${ar...@]}"
exec chbg -xscreensaver "${ar...@]}"
I think chbg should be tweaked to recognise -window-id as a synonym for
-windowid.
Cheers,
TIM
