[Bug 49434] No way to use actual desktop screenshot in g-s's screensavers

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

In 5.10's xscreensaver, there was a checkbox for 'Use actual screenshot
in screensavers'; this is missing entirely from gnome-screensaver's GUI,
and it makes a number of the screensavers (Distort, AntSpotlight,
Mirrorblob, and a large number of others) use the ugly multi-colour
"test pattern" default instead of the user's actual desktop.

Like the butchering of xchat into xchat-gnome, I'm afraid this is
another "Gnome must have a simple UI" attempt gone too far...

** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)

         Status: Unconfirmed
