Hi Brad
I believe KDE has a picture-shower screensaver (the native KDE does, I'm
not sure about the RedHat supplied version because I don't run KDE). However,
for Gnome, you can use any program which displays pictures on the root window.
I use xv. (There are probably better programs, but I'm an old-time
unix dude and I like xv.) I add a couple of lines to my
~/.xscreensaver file, in the Programs section, like so:
"XV (cats)" xv -random -wait 10 -root -rmode 5 \
/home/dave/img/cats-good/* \n\
If you are running in a mode with multiple screensavers selected, you
can have variations on these lines:
"XV (comix)" xv -random -wait 10 -root -rmode 5 \
/home/dave/img/funny/* /home/dave/img/funny/*/* \n\
...and they will come up in the appropriate random order.
