Update xscreensaver to the latest version

[Thomas Hotz]

Please update xscreensaver to the latest version in Ubuntu 14.04.

This would fix at least Bug #103975 and maybe some more.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

FYI, I will soon release 5.26-1 in Debian, available in git and in my PPA for testing.

@Tormod: we are already past Debian Import Freeze and are rapidly approaching Feature Freeze. It would be really nice if this got done this week...

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Daniel, thanks for the remainder, which I only discovered now. I forgot about finishing off the release. I am waiting for it to be accepted now. But note that 5.26 is not much different from 5.23, since most upstream changes concerned the iOS port.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

A merge debdiff to 5.23-1 has been posted in bug #1283459.

This bug is now fixed, look at bug #1283459.

If the problem is a window saying "This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD! Please upgrade!" on login or when going to Screensaver Preferences in System Settings > Screensaver; I never had it in Xubuntu 14.04, but since distribution upgrade to 14.10, I have it. So if it has been fixed, it hasn't made it's way to the Xubuntu Utopic repositories yet. Version shown is 5.26 (9 Dec 2013).
