Description Oliver Grimm 2006-12-22 20:07:13 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

With XScreensaver some of the available savers have a tab "advanced settings" that is not available in KScreensaver. To reproduce do

- right click the KDE desktop background
- choose "set up desktop"
- choose "screen saver"
- choose screen saver "GL slideshow"
- click "settings"
- read the info text: it says "...to set up the working directory see advanced settings"
- there is no button "advanced settings" to click

The screen locker architecture changed with Plasma 5. The classic screen savers are no longer supported. The 4.x series won't see any further feature development, so this bug report won't be implemented as it doesn't apply to our current version any more.

I want to thank you for your bug report and for helping improving the quality of our software and I'm sorry that we were not able to provide a fix before we retired the affected component.
