This is a good idea, but having to pre-guess which possible screensaver programs one may want to use isn't ideal. So, we'd at least need a "add screensaver" option that builds the .desktop file.

Do you have the PAM headers installed? Is pam support getting compiled in when you build e (check the value of HAVE_PAM in e17/apps/e/config.h)?

Possibly coupled with the above suggestion from raster. So, a dropdown/ilist for each, with a button to add a new one? rephorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
