<title>Introduction to XScreenSaver</title>
<para>The <application>XScreenSaver</application> is a modular screen
saver and locker for the X Window System. It is highly customizable and
allows the use of any program that can draw on the root window as a
display mode. The purpose of <application>XScreenSaver</application> is
to display pretty pictures on your screen when it is not in use, in
keeping with the philosophy that unattended monitors should always be
doing something interesting, just like they do in the movies. However,
<application>XScreenSaver</application> can also be used as a screen
locker, to prevent others from using your terminal while you are away.</para>

<title>Installation of XScreenSaver</title>
<!-- Apparently, this issue is now fixed
<para><application>XScreenSaver</application> makes some poor choices
where to put all the files if <application>GNOME</application> is installed.
To get around this, run the following command and see an optional configure
switch described later below.</para>
<screen><userinput>sed -i -e "s,@GNOME_DATADIR@,$GNOME_PREFIX/share," driver/Makefile.in</userinput></screen>

<para>Install <application>XScreenSaver</application> by running the following
commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib &amp;&amp;

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para><option>--with-setuid-hacks</option>: This switch allows some
demos to be installed setuid <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>

<para><option>--enable-locking</option>: This switch provides support for
locking the display.</para>
<!-- Not required any longer
<para><option>-with-configdir=/usr/lib/xscreensaver/config</option>:
If <application>GNOME</application> is installed, you can use this
