Wrong.. the slideshow really requires a configuration option to specify
the directory containing the pictures, it is just not possible in
gnome-screensavers today. The upstream solution is to force the user to
have the pictures in the folder "~/Pictures" which makes absolutely no
sense for non-english users (I you don't think it is a major issue, I
suggest you rename the picure folders to the swedish word "Bilder" just
for the fun of it).
