Public bug reported:
Using Kubuntu 7.04, I installed packages xscreensaver and xscreensaver-
gl
Now when i run xscreensaver-demo and change the selected screensaver to
see a preview, I get a popup windows saying 'Directory does not exist:
"/usr/share/backgrounds"' and OK button.
Terminal says
xscreensaver: 04:32:45: 0: unrecognised ClientMessage "_NET_WM_STATE" received
xscreensaver: 04:32:45: 0: for window 0x23032e0 (konqueror / Konqueror)
xscreensaver: 04:33:38: 0: unrecognised ClientMessage "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW"
received
xscreensaver: 04:33:38: 0: for window 0x3a048e8 (xscreensaver-demo /
Xscreensaver-demo)
xscreensaver-getimage-file: /usr/share/backgrounds does not exist
usage: xscreensaver-getimage-file [--verbose] [--name] file-or-directory
Puts the given image file (or a randomly selected image from the
given directory) on the root window. If --name is specified,
just prints the selected filename to stdout instead.

xscreensaver: 04:34:47: 0: for window 0x2400007 (konsole / Konsole)
I'm sure I can 'fix' this on my install by creating the folder, but I think
either the directory should be created by xscreensaver, by default or
xscreensaver should .. do something else than give the popup.
