Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Last time the screensavers-personal-slideshow ran (a screensaver that shows
pictures from "~/Bilder", which is something like "~/Pictures" in English), I
saw some pictures that I don't really want people to see; This was the first
time I became aware of the existence of this screensaver. The images that were
shown lie in a hidden directory in my images folder.

I request that this screensaver doesn't traverse hidden directories when
looking for images to show. Hidden directories are hidden for a reason. :-)
