What's the name (executable filename) of the screensaver? If it doesn't offer
any options, then the best you can do is probably hack and recompile.

Speaking of RH screensavers, I wouldn't trust them.

FC3 was to blame.

And why would that cause you not to trust them? Fedora would have just put
in a collection of screensavers; It doesnt choose that one as default. It
is hardly a security issue, all the screensaver does is display a random
collage of images from the web.
The fuss: It showed a picture of a building with a sign on it that says
"porno supermarket" Not a girl or a dildo in sight...
Sheesh, some people have small minds and lives....

*smile*

I should have added a or tag, I suppose. I love Fedora
and I use it in the clusters, as well as for doing most (if not all) of my
writing.

Best wishes,

Roy

I tend to agree... but for the sake of setting the record straight:
webcollage doesn't filter images at all, and it's easy to go make a cup of
tea and come back to a screen full of girls and dildos and all sorts of
other even less savoury things!

Cheers,
