Hi everyone.
I try to change my Kubuntu 7.04 desktop wallpaper so that it uses the GL Matrix screensaver as background.
I have Kubuntu 7.04 up to date plus kdeartwork, xscreensaver etc.
the screensaver itself works fine.
I was able to figure out, theoretically at least, how to do the above (animated background).
This is how far I got:
1. Right-click on desktop, and choose: Configure desktop...
2. Then on the left hand side, background is selected (if not, do it):
Screenie 1

3. Click on "Advanced Options":
4. Activate check box "Use the following programm...":
Screenie 2

5. Click on modify:
Screenie 3

This is how far I got. I am a newbie and not that well versed in all this command-line console stuff yet. Can anyone help me and tell me what to fill in these boxes (screenie 3) to have the GL Matrix screensaver as desktop background?
The 3rd screenie shows the preset option of web Kubuntu. I would like to change that so it picks up the GL Matrix screensaver and uses it to render the background.
I have also posted this on the Ubuntu forum, but to no avail.
As this is an already implemented feature of a stable system, I would venture to guess that there should be some documentation on how to use it? I haven't found it, and if it doesn't exist, I'll happily contribute by doing it. But still I'm a newbie.....
I googled for hours but nothing, really.
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Mike
PS I don't know why the screenshots are shrunk?
