[luau] mandrake screensavers

[W. Wayne Liauh]

Alvin-

For some reason your e-mail was accidentally deleted, as a bunch of 
other mails.  Yes, KDE does not prevent you from running a non-KDE 
screensaver (I love Atlantis screensaver).  To run GNOME screensavers, 
basically, all you have to do is turn off the KDE screensave then run 
the following command:

/bin/X11R6/xscreensaver

(I am writing this from memory.  To make sure that the directory is 
correct, run this command: locate xscreensaver--or whereis screensaver 
in MDK.  Furthermore, perhaps you could convert an xscreensaver file to 
a kscreensaver file; however, I am too lazy to find out.)

BTW, would be able to share your experience about using IBM's ViaVoice?)

Probably a trivial point to most; I prefer to run KDE most of the time,
but the Gnome screensavers are a lot more fun. Question: is there any
way to run the Gnome screensavers from KDE?  I know you can
ctrl-alt-back and restart in gnome but I was hoping there was a command
line option or script that would allow running the gnome screensavers
from within KDE. Thanks.
