What I have done was apt-gotten xscreensaver-nognome and xscreensaver which set the scene for kde for both Woody (xscreensaver 3.09) and Sid (xscreensaver 3.10)
Other comments have been made about doubles in the list and that XScreensaver does not seem to work. I have looked at the doubles and it appears that there are different screensavers for each of the doubles i.e. Gravity, Gravity (GL), or Bouble, Bouble. xscreensaver program works well (on kde 3.1 RC6 and RC7) when a specific screensaver is chosen. However the option XScreensaver does not work which is a random display of screensavers. The random option is what I would like. I believe the problem with XScreensave is the improper operation of /usr/bin/xscreensaver.kss. Has anyone got the xscreensaver option working? And do you have a "good" xscreensaver.kss? The way kde executes the xscreensaver modules is by executing either the xscreensaver program or the module each time - i.e. xscreensaver is not run as a daemon. If kde provides the randomization then the current way of executing xscreensaver program (on demand) would work. jwz the author of xscreensaver in the past has not been exactly happy with the way kde has handled xscreensaver and I am glad that it appears kde is treating it correctly!
