Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: RedHat RPMs OS: Linux clean install redhat linux 9 use default desktop setting without GNOME and with KDE install xscreensaver-4.07-2.i386.rpm from redhat network then the screensavers work but cannot configure them for example it does not allow me to configure "The Matrix" screensaver the small font or faster speed. uninstall xscreensaver-4.07-2 install xscreensaver-4.05-6.i386.rpm from redhat then the screensavers work again can setup them Odd.
Now I have rebuilt the redhat linux system, full install. xscreensaver-4.07-2 is installed by default. Try to config some xscreensavers like "The matrix" again. not work again.
known bug. The config files moved.
Where did the config files move from/to?

how to solve? will KDE solve the folder location problem?
Yes. Currently the /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver directory is hard-coded into KDE. We'll need to ensure that the new directory can be used as well. As a work around, you should be able to use some symbolic links. Since coolo assigned it to himself, hopefully he will take care of this *g*
Odd again, I am new to Linux and KDE and I find out something interesting... I find all my screensavers in /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver !!! what's up?

FYI, redhat's xscreensaver config info moved from /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/config to /usr/share/control-center/screensavers so kde-3.1.2 still doesn't work. As an aside:I think I'm going to file a bug report with redhat to ask them to keep a symlink at /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/config pointing to wherever the config files live, so that ksconfig can/will work, regardless of which version of xscreensaver is installed.
so where is the flame binary and where is flame.xml now?
FYI, flame binary is unmoved: /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/flame and flame.xml is now at /usr/share/control-center/screensavers/flame.xml
