3. The screensaver is selectable in the Gnome screensaver properties, it has not once shown a "sheep" ~/.electricsheep has about 270MB of avi's in it from a previous installation of electricsheep in my previous Arch install. These should be completely interchangable. To ensure this was not the issue i moved the directory to a new name and tried again. (i deleted the deb off my system first and redownloaded it from the repo's)
after that i attempted to run it from the command line and get this error:
$ electricsheep
please be patient while the first sheep is downloaded...
lost contact with v2d6.sheepserve
4. No matter what the screensaver does not start.

I have literally about 3GB of sheep downloaded manually in my ~/.electricsheep folder. I noticed there was also a ~/.sheep folder and I moved them there and attempted to start the screensaver, with the same error.
