gnome-screensaver does not Conflict with xscreensaver

[Mark Florian]

gnome-screensaver should conflict with xscreensaver as they both provide menu
entries in System -> Preferences called 'Screensaver'. This is confusing, and
pointless.

Also, both being installed at the same time has produced some annoying
side-effects, such as gnome-screensaver activating every 10 minutes regardless
of user activity.

please get your system up to date before filing bugs ;) it was fixed 4h ago in
the last upload

Wow, you reply FAR too quickly. I just did an update and noticed it was fixed. I
came here to remove this bug report, but you beat me to it!

If it really was fixed in september, it is broken again.

I can install both xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver, and each gets its entry in the preferences menu. I cannot uninstall gnome-screensaver because it drags the whole gnome-desktop with it.

I would like to keep xscreensaver and dump gnome-screensaver, but it is seemingly impossible to do so

please see bug #22335 which resulted from the fix of this bug and caused the reversion of the conflict
