Where are XScreenSaver's files installed? [SOLVED]

Hi, i'm gonna use an GL application with screensaver support as a background. I have installed XScreenSaver package http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/

Where are these files installed? I need to specify path to screensavers in config file. How does KDE4 config manager know where these screensavers are? Some of them i have found in /usr/bin

Thanks for any help.

Try looking in /var/lib/pacman/local/xscreensaver-<version>/files. This file should list all files that are installed by xscreensaver package.

You can use the command locate.

 locate xscreensaver

Or, using the pacman api:

pacman -Qlq xscreensaver
