KDE3 has a large supply of screensaver modules

How can I refresh the list?
so you try to copy something into this directory and expect it to show up
somewhere?
That's where they are in (openSUSE's) KDE3; it seems odd to me
that TDE would
put them somewhere else.
I do not think it works simply like this. There are files that accompany
each screensaver module.
Heh. I looked again in /usr/lib/xscreensaver and noticed
that most of the
files were -rw-r--r--. I chmod +x the whole set and now they appear in
Control Center's Screensaver module and the desktop context menu Configure
Desktop option; so Surprise! no additional files are needed.
And here on Debian 12 amd64 it is in libexec. I see you are on openSUSE
$ dpkg -S /usr/libexec/xscreensaver
xscreensaver-data, xscreensaver-gl: /usr/libexec/xscreensaver
$ ls -al /usr/lib/xscreensaver
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/xscreensaver': No such file or directory
The debian own package tdescreensaver-xsavers-trinity seems to hold the
config files for the desktop
look at
man kxsrun
man kxsconfig
