Hello,
I am using Arch Linux about from one year.
Strangely, this is the first problem for which i ask you help...
This is my problem:
I like rss-glx screensavers. I used it in every linux distro i had in my life.
I know rss-glx has some issue with gnome-screensaver (not in ubuntu, but this is another story...)
An example: flux
Flux is a screensaver of rss-glx package.
If i run flux from command line, a window with it is opening (normal) showing screensaver.
If i try to run from command line the same screensaver in fullscreen (flux --root), i can't see anything (CTRL+C to exit).
I tried to create a gnome-screensaver:
I went in /usr/share/applications/screensavers and created a flux.desktop file with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Flux
TryExec=flux
Exec=flux --root
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Screensaver;
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
Now, when i run gnome-screensaver-preference, i see Flux in my screensavers list. If i select Flux, on the right window there is no preview (all black) and if i try to force screensaver to start (or lock), my screen goes black (but after i move mouse, password box is shown and i can unlock screensaver)
I can't understand why i am the only one who find out this problem (with Arch... in Ubuntu/Mint the same things works)
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank u

I have the same problem. I found a way to get the entries in the list for gnome but they don't excute properly. I switched over to xscreensaver instead of the gnome one. It's the only way they seem to work.
