Not here. The above fixed my menus, but not this. The Screensaver item
under Advanced is called like this:
xscreensaver-demo --crapplet
(which is kinda funny), but when launching this from the command line we
get:
xscreensaver-demo: 23:48:55: XScreenSaver-warning: Unable reach the
control-center.
Exiting...
Maybe this is a libcapplet1 vs libcapplet0 thing. Anyway, editing
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Settings/Desktop/screensaver-properties.desktop to
have:
Exec=xscreensaver-demo
instead of:
Exec=xscreensaver-demo --crapplet
will at least make it do something reasonable.
