Bug Description
Binary package hint: f-spot
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
2) apt-cache policy f-spot

apt-cache policy gnome-screensaver

3) I expected, having selected in both F-Spot and Gnome-Screensaver to have the screensaver use F-Spot photos, to see F-Spot photos when the screensaver turned on.
4) I just get a black screen. This happens when the actual screensaver activates and when I try to preview the screensaver in the Gnome-Screensaver dialogue. All the other screensavers (snowflakes, GLSlideshow, etc.) all work fine. It's just the F-Spot one that's not working.

I can confirm this. It is a real show stopper since F-Spot is the only installed image screensaver which is widely used I guess.
