The list of KDE screensavers in the control panel are mostly xscreensavers. It would be nice to have xscreensaver installed as a dependency of KDE so that the screensavers are actually available to run.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  screensavers are also included into kdeartwork so no problem here

it's like with samba - kde-binaries do not depend directly on xscreensaver, but they can use it and have entries in the configuration

so i dont think it is a bug - do you agree?

Guess it's more like a feature request - but the way I came across it, it felt more like a bug. I saw all the screensavers listed in the configuration panel (therefore thinking they were installed), but most of them didn't work.

yes, the configs come with kde automagically without giving you the info that xscreensaver is used in background - maybe i should add a note as post-install message of kde pkg

sounds ok?
