Bug#423545: gnome-screensaver: Doesn't allow grabbing desktop images?

[Vincent Lönngren]

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: normal

xscreensaver hacks that are supposed to grab the desktop image (such as slidescreen) fail to do so when invoked by 
gnome-screensaver, displaying only black instead.
