    I used to set them by running xscreensaver --(something), then
exiting that program entirely.  I suppose I still could.

    One of the minor disappointments of Linux has been that, with all
the power of the screensavers, no one like AfterDark ever jumped in. I'd
imagine all sorts of "ancient" or "retro" screensavers from their
profitable past would be easy to port, but so far most seem to be very
nerdly with theoretical, not visual components as part of the art.

    Lately though, ReallySlickScreensavers (other 'other' RSS) have made
some nice advancements...

    Thanks
