Bug Description

Many versions of Ubuntu ago, it was possible to set a number of individual options on each screensaver. At some point along the way, somebody decided those options were too confusing or something and removed them, so now if I want to change the default options I have to go looking for some textfile config. This is really, really stupid. Windows screensavers have those options still, and it doesn't seem to unduly confuse any windows users.

I would really like to see an 'extended options' button or something so that I can easily change those options again.

For instance. I wan't GLmatrix not to use panning movement. I know this is possible by using xscreensaver-demo.

In gnome-screensaver I see no such option. That sux.
