Thread: A "Show-and-Tell" Screensaver (for Linux)

My favorite screensaver is the one in MacOS X, which creates an on-screen collage, using whatever is in my homedir's "Pictures" folder. However, I run the GNU/Linux operating system and, even though mine is Gnome-based and themed for the MacOS X "look-and-feel" (Mac4Lin), it's not. But I did not despair, oh no. Instead, I found the "webcollage" package for the "xscreensaver" package, and the following screensaver-config-file (edit and place in /usr/share/applications/screensavers/my-shaving-collage.desktop):

Code:
