RHBA-2004:443 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated xscreensaver package
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated xscreensaver package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The xscreensaver package contains a variety of animated screensavers.
This updated package addresses the following issues:
- On systems with multiple displays running different resolutions,
xscreensaver would incorrectly size active screensavers to fill the
entire screen.
- One of the screensavers that shipped with xscreensaver, "Web Collage,"
gathers random images from the Internet. This screensaver may gather
inappropriate or unauthorized content.
All users of xscreensaver should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
