I've tried the big hammer more than once -- told yum to remove gnome-screensaver; but it always threatens to take xscreensaver with it.
Is there anything I can do about this usurpation? Or if not, might some developer in an idle moment take a hard look at the dependencies?
I don't know what the trouble is. Here I go, on a system with GNOME install, I install xscreensaver
Then I remove gnome-screensaver
No problems. Show us your output
Note, I am not the OP, but for me:
[....] OK, I am the OP, and I get what looks the same to me :
Removing: gnome-screensaver i386 2.24.1-2.fc10 installed 3.4 M Removing for dependencies: fedora-screensaver-theme noarch 1.0.0-3.fc10 installed 18 k fedorainfinity-screensaver-theme noarch 1.0.0-1.fc8 installed 102 k rss-glx-gnome-screensaver i386 0.8.2.p-1.fc10 installed 4.3 k xscreensaver-extras-gss i386 1:5.08-5.fc10 installed 43 k xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss i386 1:5.08-5.fc10 installed 28 k
So suppose I tell it yes. From other posts in this thread, it seems I would still have some part of xscreensaver. What, in non- technical terms, would it look like?
Could I still have my colliding galaxies, my bouncing cow and flying toasters, my cage and cubestorm, my decayscreen and endgame, my flow and knots, my grav and hypercube, interaggregate and Klein bottle, my molecules and mountains, .....?
