Bug Description
Binary package hint: shotwell
https:/
Obviously there is screensaver capability; else, this bug would have been reported now, but at the least there is something missing from the documentation that needs to be fixed to instruct me better how to get it working.
Using Shotwell 0.7.2 under Ubuntu 10.10.
Documentation says to select the Shotwell Photos screensaver theme under System-
Documentation also says in order to change the tag used for the screensaver to select screensaver under edit->preferences in Shotwell. There is no screensaver tab, button or option (only display, library location and external editors)
*See attached screenshots.

There is no Shotwell screensaver. This is a documentation bug. The page with the wrong information is here:
https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/10. 10/musicvideoph otos/C/ photos- slideshow. html
I suspect that an older version of this page used to describe F-Spot, and someone simply replaced the word F-Spot with Shotwell without checking that this capability existed.
It would be nice to have a Shotwell screensaver at some point - see http:// trac.yorba. org/ticket/ 1112 .
