Bug Description
There is currently no way to configure the GLSlideshow screensaver to display ~any~ pictures with gnome-screensaver. I'm not a fan of the "anything that requires configuration is inherently broken" mantra. But if you can't manually move/link your pictures to a directory GLSlideshow will recognize, then isn't it broken, too?
It took me half an hour to realize that we have to use the "Pictures gallery" screensaver instead of GLSlideshow to get any image to display in a screensaver.

I'm going to second this. gnome-screensaver seems to be a huge step backwards so far.
