Title:
xscreensaver doesn't pass keys
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “xscreensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xscreensaver
In order to vote on the Electric Sheep screensaver's sheep, you need
to be able to pass the up and down arrows to the screensaver.
XScreensaver currently does not do this.
http://electricsheep.org/index.cgi?&menu=code has a link to a version
of xscreensaver that does:
http://electricsheep.org/xscreensaver-4.19-passkeys-r2.tar.gz Adding
it to the main xscreensaver might not be necessary if the devs want to
keep the hacked one separate, but having a dummy xscreensaver package
that is satisfied by either xscreensaver-standard or xscreensaver-
passkeys (for example) could work.
Oh, I'm using Hardy Alpha 5. The version of xscreensaver that passes
keys has never been packaged for any version of Ubuntu, though.
Alternatively, since xscreensaver isn't part of Ubuntu by default and
is kind of ugly, what about patching gnome-screensaver to pass keys?
