the home directory of the user, in the $HOME/.xscreensaver file. For information
on screensaver preferences, see the GNOME Desktop User Guide
.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/2.6].
Users can also run the /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver-demo command to
open the XScreenSaver dialog.
To set default screensaver preferences for all users, modify the XScreenSaver file. You
can also use the XScreenSaver dialog to create a $HOME/.xscreensaver file, then
copy the file to the location of the XScreenSaver file.
To restore the default settings for a user, delete the $HOME/.xscreensaver file
from the home directory of the user. If no $HOME/.xscreensaver file is present,
the default preferences in the XScreenSaver file are used.
TIP
The default display behavior of XScreenSaver is to display a blank screen. The
blank screen might confuse users. You might want to change this default display
behavior.
To activate changes to the screensaver preferences, use the following command to
reload screensaver preferences:
xscreensaver-command -restart
10.6.2 Modifying Screensaver Displays
The screensaver application allows users to select one or more screensaver displays. A
screensaver display is an application that displays images on the screen of the user when
the screen is not in use. The screensaver displays are listed in the XScreenSaver file
and in the $HOME/.xscreensaver file.
To add a new screensaver display, copy the executable file for the display to the direc-
tory where the displays are located. Add the command for the screensaver display to
the XScreenSaver file or the $HOME/.xscreensaver file. Include any arguments
that are required to run the screensaver display on the whole screen, rather than in a
window. For example, you might want to include the -root option to display the
screensaver display on the whole screen.
