Bug Description
Binary package hint: f-spot
Try using the f-spot screensaver in feisty. It doesn't work, and I can't tell why. There are a couple partial issues I've noted:
* if you run the screenshot binary from the command line, it works fine. So the problem is somewhere in the installation or gnome-screensaver, I think.
* the .desktop file for the screensaver is installed in the wrong place; this is bug 56440 in launchpad, and claims that it was fixed in edgy, but it is back in feisty. If you fix that with a symlink, the screensaver shows up properly in the gnome-screensaver dialog (which it doesn't on a clean install), but still fails to actually work.
* the f-spot-screensaver binary is installed in what appears to be the wrong place (/usr/libexec/
Sort of at a loss... will keep poking at it.
Thanks, I'll put it back in its proper place. Wrapper scripts also need to be updated to work properly.
