Linux users re: xscreensaver
Anyone else using Slackware? I dled and compiled the latest version of xscreensaver but if I try to use the settings it crashes every time. I had a little bit of back and forth with JWZ but, since the xscreensaver-settings binary won't generate a backtrace when run in the debugger (I have no idea why it won't, all the debugging symbols are in the binary) I ended up assuming that the problem is that Slackware doesn't "feature" systemd, which xscreensaver now supports. The weird thing about that is that the xscreensaver configure script DOES notice that my Slackware system isn't running systemd, and, supposedly, takes that into account in the subsequently generated makefiles or the config.h header.

So my question is, for any members who are running Linux systems that do have systemd, are you able to run xscreensaver-settings (without it crashing) either from the splash screen or from the command prompt?

Enquring minds want to know! Tongue

EDIT: This would be with xscreensaver version 6.06
