Bug 88246

Version:           2.0 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.104-default

Downloaded and ran rpm for kdeartwork3-xscreensaver obtained from both kde.org and and from SuSE site. After this was done, more screensavers appeared in listing of Control Center, but none of them work. Just get blank screen after timeout to launch screensavers. When I double-click on any screensaver, get error "Screensaver not configured", but did run SuSEconfig after running the rpm scripts. After further investigation under the GUI, I found that when the function tries to launch a screensaver, an error is produced --

kxsconfig: Cannot connect to X server.

It is not obvious how I might configure these screensavers.

Resolved the problem temporarily by removing the kdeartwork3-xscreensaver package, but find that some of the remaining screensavers, the ones that were installed with the original SuSE 9.1 CDs, now are also not configured, so that when the Random selection picks one, just get a white screen with an error message "Screensaver not cofigured", or a blank dark screen.

The Control Center, when one gets a "not configured" error, should offer a button to "Configure the screensaver" or "Configure all screensavers".
