Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
As I understand it, gnome-screensaver detects if ~/Pictures exists and
if so loads photos for a slideshow from there.
However, this does not seem to work on my system. If I create
~/Pictures and put photos in it, nothing shows up. I was able to get it
to work by editing /usr/share/applications/screensavers/personal-
slideshow.desktop and set Exec as follows:
Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver/slideshow
--location=/home/bryce/Pictures
I could not get --location=Pictures nor --location=~/Pictures to work,
so I believe the issue to be that relative directories are not being
handled properly.
