Sorry, but in Gnome 3, there is no customizable screensaver at all. All
you get is a black screen with your name and the date.

The Gnome aspect to this is, of course, annoying and deplorable and I'll
never understand their logic or motivations. However, it would be nice
to pick which Pictures folder is to be used. Pictures could include
one's porn collection, which is then being broadcast to your co-workers

It seems that this screensaver isn't regarded as very important, but
it's one of the first things people notice when switching from Windows.
My parents use their laptop partly as an electronic picture frame, and
on Windows they can use the arrow keys to go back to a picture they want
a second look
the screensavers with 9.04 jaunty are still a problem. the Pictures folder
does not display anything and cannot be stopped - only an 'unclean restart' did
work.
a method to put pictures in a folder and have them displayed with a selectable
interval is really needed. the current situation is not
This is a Gnome thing; actually, you can't change any screensaver
settings, for *any* screensavers. That's just the way it is.

It may be a workaround, but you're right it's certainly not a good
solution...it's not fun/user-friendly to edit config files :)
Good to see some action on this...I'm sure Ubuntu's target audience
would like to see some improvement in the xscreensaver setup.

Just so you guys know how to change this (at least in Feisty) -
Edit the file /usr/share/applications/screensavers/personal-slideshow.desktop
and change the location in the line:
Exec=slideshow --location=Pictures
...the rest of the xscreensaver settings are also in
As mentioned in the Gnome bug: the ~/Pictures folder isn't created by
default, and programs like F-Spot use ~/Photos. It also isn't documented
anywhere, making it hard to discover how to add pictures.
Please apply some more pressure to upstream, of provide SOME hint of how
to fix it.

It would be nice to have the ability to configure this. I can confirm
that there is no way to set the folder and there is no clear indication
of what folder is used by default.

I created a folder called ~/.personal-screensaver-pictures. Then, inside
of that I created a symlink to the non-existent folder ~/Pictures. I
also created a symlink to the existing folder ~/My\ Pictures.
Then I edited the file
/usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/personal-slideshow.desktop and
Thanks for your bug report. The issue is known upstream already, as
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323745 but was rejected. If
you have a strong opinion and most of all useful arguments, you might
want to take the discussion upstream.
