Description: /usr/bin/xscreensaver-text attempts to execute appres for text-based screensavers e.g. phosphor and starwars. If xorg-res-utils is not installed these screensavers output an error message that appres cannot be found.


Additional info:
* xscreensaver-5.04-1
* [neil@aurora ~]$ grep appres /usr/bin/xscreensaver-text
my $body = `appres XScreenSaver xscreensaver -1`;

2) Observe the error message output in the screensaver preview or screensaver itself
