What happens at the moment is that kscreensaver installs a few KDE-specific screensavers, as well as many .desktop files (which show up in the control centre) that launch both the KDE-specific savers and the general X screensavers. Hmm, so the options I can see are: 1) Make kscreensaver depend on (not recommend) xscreensaver; 2) Split kscreensaver into kscreensaver and kscreensaver-hooks, where kscreensaver contains the KDE-specific savers and their desktop files (and recommends kscreensaver-hooks), and kscreensaver-hooks contains the desktop files to launch the general X savers (and depends on xscreensaver); 3) Leave everything as it is, since Recommends: are meant to be installed in all but highly unusual installations. The problems associated with these options are: 1) Does not allow smaller installations; 2) More package bloat; 3) Can cause confusion for people less familiar with debian's package management system. I'll think a bit more on this, but meanwhile feel free to write in with your opinions and I'll take them on board. (FWIW, after about 60 seconds' thought I'm leaning towards (2) since it's the one that I dislike the least, but this could change). b.
